Replacing the Ribbon

4.After you unpack the new ribbon cartridge, remove the separator from the ribbon cartridge and discard it. Then detach the ribbon guide from its holder on the ribbon cartridge (but not from the ribbon). Turn the ribbon-tightening knob to remove any slack in the ribbon.

5. Hold the ribbon cartridge with both hands and lower it into the printer. Pulling the cartridge toward you, slide the hooks in the sides of the cartridge over the two corresponding pins in the printer. Then push the cartridge down into position so that the remaining two hooks snap into place over the mounting pins in the printer.

Note: Press lightly on both sides of the cartridge to make sure the hooks are properly connected.
