CHANGING THE PRINTER RIBBON
If the printer is used infrequently, printing may become faint
because the ribbon has dried out. Advance the ribbon to a
new “wet” section by holding down the “Paper Feed” switch for
several seconds. If the printing is still faint, replace the ribbon
with an Epson HX-20 cartridge ribbon.
1. Push down on the grooves on the printer cover – the cover
will pop up. Remove the printer cover.
2. Push down on the right side of the ribbon cartridge
marked “PUSH”. Remove the cartridge.

3. Install the new ribbon cartridge. Be sure the ribbon is
squarely and firmly seated.
4. Turn the cartridge “knob” (marked by an arrow)
clockwise to remove slack in the ribbon.
5. Replace the cover and install paper.
You can install a new ribbon without removing the paper by
sliding the ribbon over the paper so the paper goes between the
cartridge body and the ribbon itself.
SIMULTANEOUS PRINTER AND SCOREBOARD OPERATION
If your system includes a scoreboard, it also plugs into the
DISPLAY
jack along with the printer. To allow simultaneous
use of both the scoreboard and the printer, a “Y” adapter is
provided. This adapter has one male plug which inserts into
the
DISPLAY
jack on the timer console and two female phone
jacks to accept the scoreboard plug and the printer plug. Ei-
ther of the two female jacks on the “Y” connector can be used
for the scoreboard or printer.
