6 Printer Setup
Important!
Never try to move the print head while the printer is plugged into a power
outlet. 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.
Remove the ribbon cassette from its package.
Rotate the knob on the ribbon cassette clockwise 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.
Press down gently but firmly on the cassette until it snaps securely into
place.
Rotate the knob on the cassette again to take up any slack.
Close the front cover of the printer.
Important!
Printing that is poor quality or too light is almost always due to a ribbon that is
simply worn out or “used up.” If you experience problems with print quality,
check the condition of the ribbon. If the black part looks gray and well-worn,
replace the ribbon with a new one.
