Replacing the Ribbon Cartridge
If printing is too light because of ribbon wear, replace the ribbon cartridge. Appendix E,
“Supplies and Options”
lists the order number for the ribbon cartridge.
The replacement is almost the same as the installation except that it involves removing the
old ribbon cartridge and removing the new ribbon cartridge from the carton.
Removing the Ribbon Cartridge
To remove the ribbon cartridge:
1
Turn off the printer.
2
Open the top cover and the protective cover of the platen.
The print head may be hot if you have been printing recently.
3
Move the print gap lever to position 6.
4
To remove the ribbon cartridge, press the ribbon release levers located on the sides of
the cartridge and carefully lift the cartridge out of the printer.
