Your printer has been supplied with an extended-use multistrike
ribbon cassette. Because this type of ribbon has no end detector,
we suggest that you replace it whenever the print quality becomes
faded or uneven.
_-
NOTE: Always make sure the printer is off before removing
or replacing the ribbon cassette. If the printer has
been in operation, be careful not to touch the print
head or metal housing on the carriage-they will
be very hot. Use both hands to remove the cassette,
grasping it by the edges. -
Attach the cut sheet guide: This plastic guide is used to feed single-sheet paper or business - _
forms into the printer. (If you are using perforated “tractor-feed”
paper, you won’t need it at this time.) -
To attach the guide, insert its
two tabs into the notches on the
back cover of the printer.

Plug the power cord into your 120 VAC power source. We highly
recommend that you use a surge protector between the printer and
power source. This simple device-available at your local computer
store-prevents any potentially damaging fluctuations from reaching
