Installing the Ribbon

_________________________________________________________________

Replacing the Top Cover

Installing the top cover is also a two-stage process. Each half of the

cover should click into place separately to ensure complete closure.

Begin by holding the cover folded open at the hinge. Grasp it with

a hand at each end or with one hand in the middle. Insert the tabs at

the front edge of the cover into the two small slots located on the

inside lip of the printer opening. Recline the cover into position

and press each corner. You can hear the corners click into place.

Then unfold the transparent part of the cover and

press it into place.

Installing the Ribbon

Ribbon installation is a quick procedure but please

heed these two precautions:

If you are replacing a ribbon, be sure the printer is off and the

printhead has had time to cool.

Carefully follow the instructions for correct ribbon placement.

Improper placement can cause smudged printing and may jam the

ribbon.

1. Open the top cover, and slide the printhead to the center of the

platen for convenience.

2. Remove the new cassette from the packaging and position it

with the ribbon knob aligned over the post protruding from the

left end of the floor of the printer opening.

3. Lower the ribbon cassette into place and snap it down. When

properly installed, the ribbon cassette will not lift out easily; it

"snaps" out. See Figure 1-5.
