Printer Setup
Installing the ribbon cassette
Make sure that the printer is unplugged from its power outlet.
Open the front cover of the printer.
By hand, move the cartridge holder to the center position of the paper guide
where there is a cutout to allow easy installation and removal of the ribbon
cassette.
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.
