Installing the ribbon cassette 5
Note:
You can completely remove the front cover from the printer or you can stand it
up without removing it. You should normally leave the front cover closed,
because it protects against objects getting into the printer, and it cuts down on
printer noise.
Installing the ribbon cassette
❏
Make sure that the printer is unplugged from its power outlet.
Caution!
Never move the print head while the printer is turned on. Doing so can damage
the printer. If you have just finished printing, let the print head cool for a few
minutes before you touch it.
❏ Open the front cover of the printer.
❏ Remove the ribbon cassette from its package.
❏ Rotate the knob on the ribbon cassette counterclockwise to take up any
slack in the ribbon.
❏ Carefully place the cassette onto the cartridge holder making sure that the
spindle of the holder fits into the socket on the bottom of the cassette. Also
make sure that the side tabs fit into the grooves on the sides of the cartridge
holder.
