Moving parts in the printer mechanism
Use a low-pressure, dry air source, such as canned air, or a vacuum, to
remove accumulated paper dust from the printer mechanism.
The printer ribbon contains a special lubricant to ensure that the fine dot
wires inside the printhead receive adequate lubrication. Replace the
ribbon frequently to prolong the life of the printhead. The printer
requires no additional lubrication.
To change the ribbon cartridge
1 Move the printhead mechanism to an open area.
2 Squeeze the ribbon cartridge locking tabs (on the side of the
cartridge) against the ribbon cartridge.
3 Lift the ribbon cartridge to remove the ribbon from the printhead.
