Removing The Ribbon Cassette - Star LC-8521 User Manual

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.

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.
