RIBBON REPLACEMENT

The ribbons used by your printer are endless-loop ribbons in which the ribbon is recycled. When the print quality becomes too faint, you will need to replace the ribbon. Use only ribbons recommended for use with the printer (your supplier will be able to advise you).

1 To nzmove the old ribbon from the printer, first turn off the power.

2 Remove the top cover, and hold the ribbon by the two lugs on each side. Push in the two lugs slightly, and pull upwards to remove the ribbon.
