❏Rotate the knob on the cassette again to take up any slack.

❏Close the front cover of the printer.

Note:

If you want to print with color, use an optional LC9CL color ribbon cassette. If you change to a color ribbon, be sure to make the required changes to the EDS settings (page 30).

Printing that is poor quality or too light is almost always due to a ribbon that is simply worn out or “used up.” Check the following points whenever print quality is not what you expect.

✓Is your monochrome ribbon still in good shape? If the ribbon material appears to be grey, it means that the black ink has been used up and it is time to replace the ribbon.

✓Are you using a color ribbon to print mainly black text? Doing so can cause the black part of the color ribbon to be used up too quickly. Switch to a monochrome ribbon whenever you plan to print mainly black text. Remember to make any necessary EDS changes when you change ribbon types.
