Teac P-55 instruction manual Loading Ribbons

SECTION 12 : Loading Ribbons

9) Once both the ink ribbon cartridge and the re-transfer ribbon cartridge have been mounted, lock them in place by flipping down the lock lever.

10) After locking the ribbon cartridge in place, make sure that ribbon slack has been removed before closing the side door.

NOTE

-The side door is designed so as not to close unless you lock the ribbon cartridges in place with the lock lever. If you try to forcibly close the side door, there is a chance that the side door might be damaged.

-Caution in ribbon replacement: It is imperative to take out the cartridge from the P-55. If you try to force the ribbon replacement with the cartridge mounted, there is a chance that the ribbon or components involved might be damaged.

-Be sure to change the ink ribbon when it is fully consumed, which yields the error message "No INK Ribbon" or "No TFR Ribbon". (If you open and close the side door without changing a fully consumed ribbon, a tape that holds the ribbon shaft and the ribbon itself in place may be peeled off and thus the ribbon may get stuck in the mechanism, likely causing the printer to go out of order).

-Avoid dust to store the ribbon installed in the ribbon cartridge.
