Maintenance
Cleaning the Print Head
If the paper is smudged or stained by ink, clean the nose of the print head with a dry cloth.
For removing and installing the print head, see the section “Replacing the Print Head” later
in this chapter.
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 with the installation except that it involves removing the
old ribbon cartridge and unpacking the purchased ribbon cartridge from the carton. The
installation of the ribbon cartridge is detailed in the section “Installing the Ribbon
Cartridge” in step 3 of Setting Up Your Printer. This section describes only the removal of
the old ribbon cartridge.
To remove the ribbon cartridge:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Open the front cover. For easy removal, slide the print head carriage between the second
and the third bail rollers (from left to right).
Warning: The print head may be hot if you have been printing recently.
3. Move the paper thickness lever located on the top right of the printer to position D.
