NOTE: To use RibbonMinder features, refer to the RibbonMinder chapter.
To replace the ribbon, perform the following steps and refer to Figure
1.Place the printer off line and raise the printer cover.
2.Fully raise the Forms Thickness Adjustment Lever (A) to open the platen.
3.Unlatch the ribbon spools (B) and carefully lift them off the hubs (C). Raise the ribbon out of the ribbon path. Discard the used ribbon.
4.Place each new ribbon spool (B) on a hub (C) with the ribbon to the outside. Either ribbon spool can be loaded on either hub.
5.Press the spools down until the latch (D) snaps in place.
6.Thread the ribbon around the two ribbon guides (E) and through the ribbon path as shown in the diagram (F) on the ribbon deck cover. The ribbon must pass between the two thin metallic strips called the hammer bank cover (G) and the ribbon mask (H). Manually turn the ribbon spools to ensure that the ribbon is tracking correctly in the ribbon path, and the reversal strip is between the hub and the ribbon guide.
- CAUTION -
The ribbon must not be twisted. A twisted ribbon can lower print quality, shorten ribbon life, or cause paper jams.
- VORSICHT -
Der Farbband darf nicht verdreht sein. Ein verdrehter Farbband kann die DruckG qualität und die Farbbandlebensdaür erniedrigen, oder könnte Papiertransportfehler hervorrufen.
