Installing the ribbon cassette

Make sure that the printer is unplugged from its
power outlet.
Open the front cover of the printer.
By hand, move the cartridge holder to the center
position of the paper guide where there is a
cutout to allow easy installation and removal of
the ribbon cassette.
Important!
Never try to move the print head while the printer is
plugged into a power outlet. Doing so can damage
the printer. If you have just used the printer, let the
print head cool for a few minutes before you touch it.
Remove the ribbon cassette from its package.
Rotate the knob on the ribbon cassette clockwise
to take up any slack in the ribbon.
Carefully place the cassette onto the cartridge
holder making sure that the spindle of the holder
fits into the socket on the bottom of the cassette.
Press down gently but firmly on the cassette until
it snaps securely into place.
Rotate the knob on the cassette again to take up
any slack.
Close the front cover of the printer.
Important!
Printing that is poor quality or too light is almost
always due to a ribbon that is simply worn out or
"used up." If you experience problems with print
quality, check the condition of the ribbon. If the black
part looks gray and well-worn, replace the ribbon
with a new one.
