To install the ribbon, follow these steps:

1.Remove the lid at the front of the printer by lifting the handles. Removing the lid enables you to see the print head, which is shown in Figure 1-3.

Print head

Caution

The power must be off when you move the print head because moving the print head when the power is on may damage your printer. Also, if you’ve been using your printer, be careful not to touch the print head because it becomes hot during use. Let it cool for a few minutes.

2.Move the print head by hand to the center of the printer so that the other parts of the printer will not get in your way.

3.Grasp the ribbon cartridge by its handle and hold the cartridge so that the exposed strip of ribbon is facing away from you.
