Replacing the Ribbon
When your printing becomes too faint you need to replace the
ribbon. Use the following Epson replacement ribbons:
Printer
Standard ribbon
LQ-850
#7753
LQ-950
#7767
LQ-1050
#7754
Film ribbon
#7768
#7769
#7770
To replace the ribbon, turn off the power to the printer and remove
the printer cover.
If the printer has been used recently, the print head may
be hot. Let it cool before attempting to replace the
ribbon.
1.
Remove the old ribbon by grasping the black fin-like handles
(only one on the LQ-850) and lifting the ribbon straight up and
out of the printer.
2.
Slide the print head to the middle of the printer.
