Opening the front cover

❏Hook your fingers under the two small tabs on either side of the front cover and pull upwards to swing the front cover open.

Note:

You can completely remove the front cover from the printer. However, we recommend that you normally leave it in place. The cover protects against objects getting into the printer, and it cuts down on printer noise.

Removing the print head protector (LC-240C only)

If your printer is a color model, its print head will be enclosed in a protector that guards against damage during shipping. Before using the printer, you must remove the print head protector as shown in the following illustration.

About ribbon cartridges

The type of ribbon cartridge that comes with your printer depends on whether it is a color printer or a monochrome printer. Monochrome printer models come with a monochrome ribbon cartridge with a built-in print head shield, while color printer models come with a color cartridge without a print head shield (this is because the color printer has its own print head shield). In addition, monochrome ribbon cartridges for use on a color printer model are available as an option.
