Preparing to Operate the 1330
Ribbon Shifter Guide
Figure 2-5. Disengaging the Ribbon Shifter Guide
6. If you are replacing the ribbon cartridge, lift out the old cartridge and remove the
plastic corner guides. Reinstall the new corner guides (they are packed in the new
ribbon cartridge package) over the corner guide brackets.
7. Snap the new ribbon cartridge into place. Make sure that the tabs on the front and
back of the cartridge snap into the slots on the ribbon cartridge bracket.
8. Pull the ribbon stop out of the cartridge and put the stop aside for later use.
9. Install the ribbon shifter guide by positioning it above the nose of the print head,
then press the guide down until it rocks into place on the ribbon shifter buttons. If
the ribbon shifter guide is properly installed, it will rotate smoothly.
Caution
Make sure that the barrel fits snugly against the print head nosepiece. Otherwise, it will
not shift properly.
10. Use the tapered end of the ribbon stop to route the ribbon around the right and left
corner guides.
11. Turn the ribbon drive gear knob counterclockwise several times to make sure the
ribbon is feeding properly.
12. Slide the print head to the far left and reset the platen gap lever to the appropriate
position to accommodate the thickness of the forms. If necessary, refer to “Setting
the Platen Gap Lever” later in this chapter. Close the printer cover.
Caution
If the platen gap adjustment is set too close to the paper, the life of the print head will be
reduced and the print head may be damaged.
13. Connect the printer to a power source, as explained later in this chapter.
