Loading the Ink Ribbon Cartridge

Note

Do not touch the ink ribbon. Fingerprints on the ink ribbon may harm the image quality.

1 Take up any slack in the ink ribbon by turning in the direction indicated by the arrow.

The ink ribbon could become damaged if you load the ribbon while it is slack.

2 Open the ribbon cartridge cover.

WARNING

Components located behind the ribbon cartridge door become very hot.

To avoid burns, never put your hand inside the opening.

3 Grasp the handle on the ink ribbon cartridge, and make sure that the ink ribbon cartridge is facing the right way. Align the protuberances on the cartridge with the grooves in the printer and slide the cartridge in as far as it will go.
