Replacing the Ribbon Cartridge

If printing is too light because of ribbon wear, replace the ribbon cartridge. Appendix A lists
the order number for the ribbon cartridge.
The replacement is almost the same as the installation except that it involves removing the
old ribbon cartridge and unpacking the purchased ribbon cartridge from the carton. The
installation of the ribbon cartridge is detailed in the section, "Installing the Ribbon Cartridge,"
in the Installation Guide. This section describes only the removal of the old ribbon cartridge.
To remove the ribbon cartridge:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Open the top cover. For easy removal, slide the print head carriage between the second
and the third bail rollers (from left to right).
Warning : The print head may be hot if you have been printing recently.
3. Move the print gap lever to the rear.
4. To remove the ribbon cartridge, press the ribbon release levers located on the sides of the
cartridge and carefully lift the cartridge out of the printer.
