Replacing the Ribbon

When your printing becomes too faint you need to replace the ribbon. Use the following Epson replacement ribbons:

Printer

Standard ribbon

Film ribbon

LQ-850

#7753

#7768

LQ-950

#7767

#7769

LQ-1050

#7754

#7770

To replace the ribbon, turn off the power to the printer and remove the printer cover.

If the printer has been used recently, the print head may be hot. Let it cool before attempting to replace the ribbon.

1.Remove the old ribbon by grasping the black fin-like handles (only one on the LQ-850) and lifting the ribbon straight up and out of the printer.

2. Slide the print head to the middle of the printer.
