4. Free the end of the new paper roll, checking that the end is cut
reasonably square and is free from irregular or jagged tears. If
needed, trim the end with scissors.
5. Take the free end of the paper and gently push it over the plastic ramp
and into the mouth of the printer.
6. By using the manual feed knob (or the PAPER FEED button - if power is
connected), feed the paper through the mechanism and leave
approximately 6mm (1/4") of paper protruding from the mechanism.
Ensure that the paper lies between the ink ribbon and the cassette
housing.
7. Tighten the ink ribbon in its cassette by turning the star-shaped disc (on
right-hand end of cassette) two or three turns clockwise.
8. Close the case and secure the lid catch.
9. Press the PAPER FEED button until the paper emerges past the tear-off
edge.
10. Press the ON LINE button and the printer is now ready for operation.
Ribbon Casette Replacement
Printing on plain paper in the LP950 printer is achieved by use of an inked
ribbon which is contained in a replaceable cassette.
The ribbon will normally last for 2 to 3 rolls of paper.
To Replace the Cassette -
1. Open the lid of the printer. If there is paper in the mechanism, remove it by
cutting the paper close to the exit slot of the mechanism.
IMPORTANT
Do not pull the paper roll backwards through the printer mechanism as
this will cause irreparable damage!
2. Press down on the left-hand end of the cassette to pop the right-hand end up.
The cassette can now be lifted out.
3. The new cassette is fitted in the reverse order to removal, i.e. position the
right-hand end of the new cassette in the mechanism and gently push the left-
hand end home.
4. Ensure that the paper lies between the ink ribbon and the cassette housing.
