Removing the ribbon cartridge
Use the following procedure to remove the ribbon cartridge from the printer
when you want to replace it with a new one.
Make sure that the printer is unplugged from its power outlet.
Caution!
Never touch 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.
Using your thumb and forefinger to squeeze the two tabs on the ribbon
cartridge towards the center, carefully remove the cartridge from the holder.
Use the procedure under “Installing the ribbon cartridge” on page 5 to
install a new cartridge.
Installing the paper guide
You can find the platen knob in the box of items that contains this manual.
Insert the two pointed tabs on the bottom of the paper guide straight down into
the holes provided on the top back of the printer, and then lay the paper guide
down so the tabs inside the holes slip into the grooves on the paper guide tabs.
