2.8.2 Installing the Ribbon
Plate
WARNING!
During normal printer operations, the print head will become hot. Care
should be used when handling the print head to avoid personal injury.
1 Remove all Ribbon Modules from the print head blocks. Then
lift one of the print head blocks.
Notes:
•
Be sure to return the print head to
the original position.
•
Tighten the screws so as not to
damage the screw threads.
2
Hold the Ribbon Plate with the pin facing inside and downwards,
as illustrated below.
3
First position the Head Positioning Plate (opposite the pin side),
into the small rectangular groove. Keep the Head Positioning
Plate flush against the groove, as illustrated below.
When attaching the Ribbon Plate to the print head block, make
sure that the Head Positioning Plate makes full contact with the
small rectangular groove.

hole on the back of the print head.

of the arrow and gently pull down the print head. Secure the Ribbon
Plate to the print head block by tightening the Mounting Screw.
