Installing the ribbon cartridge
❏
Rotate the knob on the cartridge clockwise to take up any slack in the
ribbon.
❏
Carefully push the cartridge holder by hand all the way to the left side as far
as it will go.
Important!
Never try to move the print head while the printer is plugged in. Doing so can
damage the printer. If you have just used the printer, let the print head cool for
a few minutes before you touch it.
❏
Carefully place the cartridge onto the cartridge holder making sure that the
spindle of the holder fits into the socket on the bottom of the cartridge.
❏
Press down gently but firmly on the cartridge to make sure that it is securely
in place. The cartridge should move slightly (about 1/10” or 2.5mm) when
you press down on it.
