About ribbon cartridges
The type of ribbon cartridge that comes with your printer depends on whether it
is a color printer or a monochrome printer. Monochrome printer models come
with a monochrome ribbon cartridge with a built-in print head shield, while
color printer models come with a color cartridge without a print head shield (this
is because the color printer has its own print head shield). In addition,
monochrome ribbon cartridges for use on a color printer model are available as
an option.
Installing the ribbon cartridge
❏ Rotate the knob on the cartridge clockwise to take up any slack in the
ribbon.
❏ Carefully push the cartridge holder by hand all the way to the left side as far
as it will go.
Important!
Never try to move the print head while the printer is plugged in. Doing so can
damage the printer. If you have just used the printer, let the print head cool for
a few minutes before you touch it.
