Replacing the ribbon...When buying new ribbon cartridges for the T-750, be sure you get a ribbon specifically for Epson T-750 or FX series printers. Ribbon cartridges for other Epson printers, such as the L-1000 or LQ series, closely resemble T-750 ribbons, but their use can cause poor print quality. Also, the Epson ribbon replacement pack #7755 should not be used as a replacement ribbon.
The T-750 uses a continuous-loop, inked fabric ribbon (#8755). When your printing becomes too light, replace the ribbon with a fresh cartridge. To replace the ribbon, just pull up on the two plastic tabs on the ribbon cartridge and lift it out of the printer. To install a new ribbon, follow the preceding steps.
4 Loading Continuous-feed Paper
When you receive your T-750, it is set up to print on continuous-feed paper. If you plan to use single-sheet paper, turn to Chapter 2 for instructions on setting up the printer for single sheets. If you have bought the optional automatic sheet feeder, complete the remainder of the setup steps before you install the automatic sheet feeder (which has its own manual).
The T-750 tractor units are adjustable to accommodate different widths of paper, from 4 to 16 inches. Before you load continuous-feed paper, prepare the printer in the following manner:
1.Make sure the printer is turned off.
2.Remove the tractor cover that comes installed on the printer. To remove it, simply pull the back of the cover toward you until it is vertical. Then lift the cover up and off the printer.
3.Install the paper rest as shown in Figure l-6. This part helps prevent the paper from catching on the printer cable.
