Replacing the ribbon . . .
The EX-800 uses a continuous-loop, inked fabric ribbon. When
your printing becomes too light, replace the whole ribbon cartridge.
Always use replacement ribbons designed specifically for Epson EX
printers. It is not possible to use ribbons for any other series of
printer, and you should never try to re-ink the ribbon.
To remove the old ribbon, simply grip the cartridge by the two
plastic tabs and lift it up and out of the printer. You can then install a
new cartridge as described above.
Before plugging in the power cord, see that the power switch on the
left side of the printer (see Figure 1-6 below) is turned off; then plug the
power cord into a properly grounded socket.
Warning:
Before turning on the printer, be absolutely sure you have removed all
packing materials. Turning on the printer when the print head cannot
move may seriously damage the mechanism.
