Replacing the Ribbon

4.

After you unpack the new ribbon cartridge, remove the

separator from the ribbon cartridge and discard it. Then detach

the ribbon guide from its holder on the ribbon cartridge (but not

from the ribbon). Turn the ribbon-tightening knob to remove

any slack in the ribbon.

5..

Hold the ribbon cartridge with both hands and lower it into the

printer. Pulling the cartridge toward you, slide the hooks in the

sides

of the cartridge over the two corresponding pins in the

printer. Then push the cartridge down into position so that the

remaining two hooks snap into place

over the mounting pins in

the printer.

Note: Press lightly on both sides of the cartridge to make sure

the hooks

are properly connected.
