To replace the ribbon cartridge, follow these steps:

1. Press the Operate button to turn off the printer and then

open the printer cover.

Warning:

If the printer has been used recently, the print head

may be hot. Let it cool before attempting to replace

the ribbon cartridge.

2. Make sure the print head is at the ribbon installation

position (the middle position where the front metal plate is

indented), as shown below. If the print head is not at this

position, move the print head to the correct position.

Note:

The print head moves to the ribbon installation position

automatically if the printer is on and no data is sent to

the printer for several seconds.

3. Squeeze the tabs on each side of the cartridge, and pull the

cartridge out of the printer.

4. Remove the new ribbon cartridge from its package and turn

the ribbon-tightening knob in the direction of the arrow to

remove any slack in the ribbon.

5. Hold the ribbon cartridge with the exposed ribbon down

and the ribbon-tightening knob facing you, and guide the

ribbon under the print head. Then snap the cartridge into

place so that the tabs on both sides of the cartridge fit into

the notches in the cartridge holder.
