Figure 1-3. Remove the protective tube from the carriage rail.
Up to this point, we’ve been clearing the decks for action, so
to speak. Only one more thing left to do before we can start
printing - install the ribbon cartridge.
n Installing the ribbon cartridge
This printer uses a neat, easy-to-change ribbon cartridge so
you don’t have to spend a lot of time threading a ribbon. And get-
ting your hands all dirty to boot.
Telling you how to put in a ribbon is like explaining how to tie
your shoelaces - it takes a lot longer to tell than to do. You can
just follow the illustrations if you wish; they’ll tell you all you
really need to know.
Or, if you feel better following written instructions, read on.
1. Turn off the power and remove the printer cover.
2. Now slide the print head gently to the center of the
printer.
