Removing the Printer Ribbon
The print head has to back away from the striker bar to provide
clearance for the removal of the printer ribbon.
On dual path printers, the print head automatically backs away from the
striker bar any time the printer is turned on and there is no paper under
the print head. On single path printers, you will need to manually open
the print gap.
If there is paper under the print head -
Press the PARK/PATH key. The printer should retract the paper, and the
LCD should say
Fault:Paper Out
.
Remove the top door.
WARNING :
If the printer has been printing for a while, the print head may be
HOT!
To remove the ribbon, grasp the ribbon cartridge and gently but firmly
pull up until the cartridge releases and the ribbon cartridge can be lifted
out of the printer. Carefully remove the ribbon guide from the print head.
To install a new ribbon, follow the instructions beginning on page 16 of
this guide.
