The FX-286 uses a continuous-loop, inked fabric ribbon. When
printing becomes too light, you'll need to replace the ribbon with a
fresh cartridge. To replace the ribbon, just pull up on the two plastic
tabs on top of the cartridge and lift the cartridge out of the printer. To
install a new ribbon, follow the preceding steps.
