1Unlock the unit. While holding down the panel open buttons at both sides of the unit, lift the panel cover away from you.

2Turn the knob on the cassette in the arrow-indicated direction to make the ribbon taut.

To insert the ribbon cassette inside the unit, lift the panel house away from

you first. Then thread the ribbon between the ribbon mask and the print head. Slide the latch on the lower side of the cassette into projections on the unit. Then let the cassette snap into place.

When having difficulty inserting the ribbon, insert it while turning the knob.

Make sure that the ribbon is placed between the print head and the ribbon mask as illustrated in the figure at left.

3Put the panel cover on the hook at the back of the unit. Lower it toward this side to close and lock the unit.
