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.
