Tips: Handling print ribbon

• Keep unused ribbon in the original package.

• Don’t place ribbon on a dusty or dirty surface–dirt could damage the printhead.

4 Run a cleaning card and replace the cleaning sleeve at the same time that you load a new print ribbon. See “Cleaning the printer” on page 39 for the steps to follow.
