Changing the Ribbon

Lathem time recorders have self-reversing ribbons. With normal use, a ribbon should last for many months or even years….and when the time

comes, it is easy to change.

Figure 7

1.Remove the top cover and raise type section (see “Raise the type section” on page 4.)

2.Remove the cotter pins – Figure 7, 7.1 that retain the ribbon spools and slide off old spools.

3.Lift ribbon hold-down guide – Figure 7, 7.2 – use a pencil to support it in an up position.

4.Remove ribbon and replace with new Lathem ribbon. Make sure the ribbon feeds from bottom of the spools and runs BETWEEN reversing fingers – Figure 7, 7.3, the red side should be aligned with the date or day wheel(s).

5.Install cotter pins; remove pencil, and lower the type section into place.
