To install the ribbon, first open the lid at the front of the LX-80 so that you can see the print head assembly shown in Figure 1-4. Move the assembly by hand to the center of the printer so that the other parts of the printer will not get in your way. Also be sure that the paper bail is against the black roller so it too will not be in your way.

Note: Moving the print head by hand when the printer is turned on can harm the printer. Always be sure that the printer is turned off before you move the print head.
