Replacing the Ribbon
2.8 Replacing the Ribbon
Replace the ribbon immediately in any of the following cases:
print becomes faint.
the ribbon is old and tattered.
the ribbon is torn or damaged.
the ribbon life message is displayed.
The IBM 5400-006 printer counts characters printed and displays a message
when the ribbon life is up.
There are two ways of replacing the ribbon for the IBM 5400-006 printer, replacing
the whole ribbon cassette or replacing only the ribbon with a refill. To replace only
the ribbon, see 2.8.3, “Refilling the Ribbon” on page 2-40.
Note: Your hands might get dirty when you are replacing the ribbon. Wear gloves
to keep your hands clean.
