Change the Ribbon

Lathem time recorders have self-reversing ribbons. With normal use, a ribbon should last for many months or even years. When the time comes, it is easy to change.

1.Remove cover and lift type section as described in Unlock and Remove the Cover and Lift Type Section.

2.Use a pointed object to remove the small cotter pins that hold the ribbon spools.

3.Lift the ribbon hold-down guide, and use a pen or a pencil to hold it away from the ribbon, as shown above.

4.Slide off the old ribbon spools.

5.Slide on the new Lathem ribbon spools. Make sure the ribbon feeds from the bottom of the spools and runs between the reversing fingers. Also make sure that the red side of the ribbon is nearest the outside of the unit.

6.Reinstall the cotter pins to hold the ribbon spools in place.

7.Remove the pen or pencil and lower the ribbon hold-down guide.

8.Follow the instructions in Lower the Type Section and Close and Lock the Unit.
