Remove the clear securing band by pulling
the coloured tab. For the starter ribbon that
comes with the new machine, remove the
foam packing piece.

Gently pull the smaller spool towards you
and place it in its housing - there are two
slots that hold it in place.

To install the smartcard, remove the green
cover by pressing on the arrow and sliding it
away from you.

Press out the smartcard from the card
holding it.

Insert the smartcard into the slot with the
gold square facing towards you, and replace
the green cover.

When you have installed the print ribbon
and the smartcard, close the front cover
firmly, making sure both green clips are
securely in place. If the smartcard is
incorrectly installed, or not in place, the
display shows

The smartcard monitors how much print ribbon is

being used, and is always supplied with new print

ribbons. The fax machine will not work unless the

smartcard is installed.
