Replacing the Ribbon Cartridge
If printing is too light because of ribbon wear, replace the ribbon cartridge. Appendix A
lists the order number for the ribbon cartridge.
The replacement is almost the same as the installation except that it involves removing
the old ribbon cartridge and removing the new ribbon cartridge from the carton.
Removing the Ribbon Cartridge
To remove the ribbon cartridge:
1 Turn off the printer.
2 Open the top cover. For easy removal, slide the print head carriage between the sec-
ond and the third bail rollers (from left to right).
3 Move the print gap lever to the rear.
4 To remove the ribbon cartridge, press the ribbon release levers located on the sides
of the cartridge and carefully lift the cartridge out of the printer.
WARNING:The print head may be hot if you have been printing recently.
