Installing the ribbon cartridge
❏
Rotate the knob on the cartridge clockwise to
take up any slack in the ribbon.
❏
Carefully push the cartridge holder by hand all
the way to the left side as far as it will go.
❏
Carefully place the cartridge onto the cartridge
holder making sure that the spindle of the holder
fits into the socket on the bottom of the cartridge.
❏
Press down gently but firmly on the cartridge to
make sure that it is securely in place. The
cartridge should move slightly (about 1/10” or
2.5mm) when you press down on it.
❏
Rotate the knob on the cartridge again to take up
any slack.
❏
Replace the front cover of the printer. Press down
on the raised parts at the back of the cover until it
snaps securely shut.
Important!
Never try to move the print head while the printer is
plugged in. Doing so can damage the printer. If you
have just used the printer, let the print head cool for
a few minutes before you touch it.
Important!
Be sure to double check that the ribbon is properly
positioned between the print head and print head
shield. If it isn’t, you may get poor print quality or
even end up damaging the ribbon.
