Operation

CHANGING THE RIBBON

Caution: When you access the ribbon loading bail as described below, the print head may be hot if a long report has just finished printing. Although the print head should never be hot enough to cause a burn, you may wish to wait several minutes before changing the ribbon.

Using Printek Ribbons

The use of ribbons provides several advantages. Most importantly, Printek ribbons provide the maximum ribbon life and print head life possible. They also allow the printer's automatic ribbon change indicator system to operate. While it is possible to use non-Printek ribbons in your printer, doing so will limit the warranty on the print head and other mechanisms which are used to advance the ribbon fabric. If you choose to use non- Printek ribbons, you must disable the ribbon sensing system as described in the appendix titled “Advanced Control Panel Features”.

Removing the Old Ribbon

To remove the old ribbon, first open the lid on the top of the printer and lift the ribbon loading bail as shown below.
