Setting Up
Before you can use your typewriter, you must remove the packing
materials from the carrier mechanism. This is essential to the proper
functioning of your typewriter. Do not turn the unit on until you have
released the carrier (10) mechanism by following the steps listed
below. The numbers in diagram correspond to those in the instructions.
Carrier
1. Remove the snap-on cover (7) from the unit. This cover also
functions as a paper support. (See “Paper Support.”)
2. Tilt the sound shield (1) toward you.
3. Remove the rubber band (left side first) from the tabs.
4. Remove the carrier restraint card.
5. Remove the ribbon cassette. If the typewriter ribbon is slack, advance
it by turning the gear wheel on the bottom of the cassette in the
direction indicated.
6. Place the cassette back on the carrier, and return the sound shield to
its original position. You will hear it snap into place. The unit will
not operate if the sound shield is not secure. An error message will
appear on the display.
Lift here... and here.
