Ribbon installation
When you are using thermal paper, you do not have to install the
ribbon cassette. With any other type of paper, install the ribbon cas-
sette as described below. Chapter 3 gives an explanation of the types
of paper to use.
Before installing the ribbon cassette, you need to lift the front cover
(Figure l-5). Firmly grasp both sides of the cover and pull up. It should
tilt toward you easily. If you happen to lift the cover off completely,
replace it by positioning the hinge at each end of the cover over the
hinge posts at the front of the printer. The hinges allow you to easily
open and close the cover without removing it.

The P-80’s ribbon cassette is easy to install. You never have to
worry about getting ink on your hands. Just follow these simple steps
and refer to Figure

1.
Make sure the printer is OFF.
2. Remove the orange tab holding the ribbon by pulling up on the end
indicated by the arrow.

As Figure 1-6 shows, take up any slack in the ribbon by turning the
ribbon counterclockwise until it is taut.
