3.3.2 DP7 Ribbon Cartridge Loading/Replacement
To replace a DP7 ribbon cartridge:
1. If the new cartridge has a plastic ribbon shield attached, remove it.
2. Pull about a 1/2" loop of ribbon from the new cartridge.
3. Remove the lid. If several minutes of continuous printing have just been finished, the printhead and
carriage may be hot to the touch. Avoid contact with those parts.
4. Press the
A and
B keys simultaneously to position the printhead nose between two
drive roller
segments.
5. Lift the carriage shaft with a little finger. Remove the old cartridge by pressing the side clips while pulling
the old cartridge forward.
6. Push the metal ribbon shield downward. Guide the new cartridge's ribbon loop around the pivoting slider
and under the printhead nose.
7. Locate the cartridge tips behind the pivoting slider.
8. Move the cartridge toward the carriage and rotate the cartridge knob counter-clockwise until the cartridge
seats on the carriage plate.
9. Insure that the ribbon lies flat against the printhead nose and that both metal side clips lock onto the
cartridge tabs.
