Operation

Remove the old ribbon by lifting the left hand end of the ribbon off of the left support bracket. Then lift out the other end of the ribbon and set the ribbon aside. If the printer power is on, “Ribbon Removed” will be displayed as the ribbon is lifted out.

Installing the New Ribbon

Unpack the new ribbon from its shipping container and remove the retainer from the slot on top of the cartridge if present. Make sure the ribbon fabric is not twisted where it enters the cartridge; then tighten the ribbon by turning the knob on top of the cartridge in the direction indicated by the arrow on the cartridge.

Place the right hand end of the ribbon on the support bracket as shown below while you align the plastic tabs with the slots in the bracket. Then align and lower the left end of the ribbon onto the left support bracket until it snaps into place. When you do this, the ribbon fabric should lower into the area between the print head and the pins which support the metal nose shield. If the printer power is on, “Ribbon Installed” will be displayed as the ribbon is installed.
