6Printer Setup

Installing the ribbon cartridge

Make sure that the printer is unplugged from its power outlet.

Open the front cover of the printer.

Note:

You will probably find later steps to perform if you remove the cover.

By hand, move the print head to the left as far as it will go, where there is a cutout to allow easy installation and removal of the ribbon cartridge.

Important!

Never try to move the print head while the printer is plugged into a power outlet. Doing so can damage the printer. If you have just used the printer, let the print head cool for a few minutes before you touch it.
