40 GOSSEN-METRAWATT
13.5 Ribbon
When the printout becomes too pale, you should replace the ribbon.
Note
Type designation for a pack of 10 ribbon cassettes: Z3210.
You can print about 6 rolls of paper with one ribbon.
How to replace the ribbon
First fold up the cover of the paper compartment (1), then the printer cover with the paper tear-off
edge (7).
To remove the ribbon cassette, exert a slight pressure on the right side of the cassette. The rib-
bon cassette comes off its holder. Carefully remove the ribbon cassette.
Insert the new ribbon cassette (6) with the tension screw to the left into the left guide provided for
this purpose. A slight pressure exerted on the right side of the cassette makes for the cassette to
firmly engage in the holder.
With the print paper inserted, the paper strip must be threaded through the guide between ribbon
and cassette prior to inserting the cassette.
When you insert the ribbon into the guide, take care that it is smooth and placed completely un-
der the recording paper. The tension of the ribbon can be adjusted by turning the ribbon tension
screw.
Fold the paper tear-off edge (7) back and close the cover of the paper compartment (1) so that
the catch engages audibly.
