3.Using the guide holders as a fulcrum with the ribbon fac- ing away from you, as shown in Figure 1-5, lightly press the cartridge down until the two holder springs snap shut to hold the cartridge firmly in place.

4.Check that the cartridge fits so that the drive pins engage the cartridge teeth.

5.Gently slide the print head carriage manually all the way to your right or left until the ribbon automatically slips down into its proper place between the print head and the silver ribbon guide.

6.Put the printer cover back on and you’re finished. (A special switch on the printer prevents the printer from working when the cover is off.)

nInstalling the mute cover

The mute cover reduces the printer’s operating sounds. Mounting the mute cover onto the printer cover is easy.

Note the position of the guide pins on the mute cover as shown in Figure l-7. Then hold the mute cover at each end, and insert the guide pins into the cutout hooks of the printer cover. Finally, lay down the free-end of the mute cover backwards.

To remove it, just reverse the procedure.
