MAINTENANCE 

 

 
 
 

ACCESSING THE PRINTER FOR MAINTENANCE OR SERVICE 

 
Before beginning any of the following maintenance procedures, you must first turn off all power to 
the unit, then pull the printer out to a serviceable position.  Follow these steps: 
 
1. 

Open the printer access door and loosen the hex head screw. 

 
2. 

Pivot the printer assembly to the right in order to clear the paper chute. 

 
3. 

Pull the entire printer slide assembly toward you. 

 
4. 

Perform any required maintenance or service.  Reverse this procedure to return the printer to 
normal operation. 

 
 

ORDERING NEW PAPER OR RIBBON 

 
When replacing paper or ribbon, use only GASBOY-supplied parts.  Failure to do so will void the 
GASBOY warranty.

C08946 

Paper, #RF-4, 5-5, Low Bulk - Star 

• 

C08941 

Ribbon, #SF-01P, Purple - Star 

 
It is recommended, in most cases, that the ribbon be replaced every 4000-5000 receipts or 2 to 3 
rolls of paper to ensure acceptable print quality.  Environmental conditions, such as temperature 
and humidity, may affect the life of the ribbon.
