Replacing the Ribbon
When your printing becomes too faint, you need to replace the
ribbon. Use only the #8766 Epson replacement cartridge for the
DFX-5000.
The following steps show you how to replace the ribbon.
WARNING: If the printer has been used recently, the
print head may be hot. Let it cool before attempting to
replace the ribbon.
1.
If the printer is on line, press the ON LINE button to take it off
line. This widens the gap between the print head and the
platen, making it easier for you to replace the ribbon. Then
turn off the printer.
2.
Open the printer’s top cover and slide the print head to the far
right.
