Installing Options

The installation of options allows you to expand the capabilities of your printer.
This section contains an introductory outline of the options available.

Installing the Color Kit

You can turn your monochrome printer into a color printer by installing a color kit on the
print head carriage. The ribbon shift unit (shown below) of the color kit vertically swings
the color ribbon cartridge to position one of the four colors of ribbon in front of the print
head.
To install the ribbon shift unit on your printer, turn the printer off and remove the cover
from the print head carriage. For details, refer to the instructions shipped with the kit. To
install the color ribbon, see the section entitled "Installing the Ribbon Cartridge," in Step 3
of the Installation Guide, page 1-5. The printer automatically senses the color kit and
follows the color commands from your software.
Use the printing test function to check color printing independent of the color command
from your software. See Step 5, "Testing the Printer," in the Installation Guide, page 1-14.
