Installing the Ribbon Cartridge

Step 1.

Make sure the printer is Offline or power is off. Open the printer lid and remove the old ribbon by lifting it straight up off of the Ribbon Platform.

Step 2.

Remove slack in the new ribbon by turning the knob on the ribbon cartridge as indicated by the arrow printed next to the knob, then slip the ribbon, left side first, over the two ribbon guides and between the front and rear panels of the ribbon shield on the printer.

Step 3.

Press down lightly on the cartridge while turning the ribbon knob as before until it seats on first the left, (as shown), and then the right cartridge drive posts. Make sure that the ribbon does not twist or fold over.
