NOTE: Before replacing the ribbon cartridge, disconnect the power plug from
the power outlet.

counterclockwise to unlock the cover. Lift the
cover to remove.
2. Pull the two ribbon release tabs upward.
3. While holding the release tabs in an upward
position, pull the ribbon cassette out of the
cradle.
4. If the print mechanism is down and a piece
of paper cannot be inserted, unplug the
clock, then plug it back in to move the
carriage up. This will make the ribbon
installation easier.

turn to take up any slack in the ribbon.

the (+) and (

Cleaning
For cleaning, unplug the power cord and wipe the case with a dry cloth. Do not
use any chemical solvents or oils to clean or lubricate your PIX-200. This will
damage your clock.
To clean the inside of your clock, blow it out with compressed air.
