Changing the ribbon cassette

The ribbon consists of a dense synthetic fabric saturated with ink.
When printing, the needles hit the ribbon and transfer the ink parti-
cles on to the paper. After printing several million characters, the ink
is consumed and the fabric worn out.
Remove all the paper from the printer and make
sure that the printer is switched off before opening
the cover.
Press the two slide latches, raise the top cover to
an angle of 90 degrees relative to the top cover of
the printer and remove it.
Cautiously slide the print head carriage to the left
stop (viewed from the printer front).

The print head heats up during print-
ing. Let it cool down before touching, if
necessary.
