Replacing the ribbon . . .
The LQ-2500 uses a continuous-loop, inked fabric ribbon. When
your printing becomes too light, replace the whole ribbon cartridge.
Always use replacement ribbons #7756 (black) and #7757 (color)
designed specifically for the Epson LQ-2500 printer. 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 previously described.
4 Turning On the Printer
Before plugging in the power cord, make sure the power switch on
the left side of the printer (see Figure 1-6) is turned off; then plug the
power cord into a properly grounded socket.
WARNlNG
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.
