6. Maintaining Your Printer
G. Replacing the Ribbon Cartridge
1 Pull the cover latch and open the printer cover.
Within the printer, near the bottom right hand corner, you
should be able to find the ribbon cartridge.
2 Check that the printer ribbon is not trapped between the
printhead and the platen roller.
If it is and the printer is on, press the [Maintain] quick key to
to home the printhead.
If the printer is off, switch it on and the printhead should home
automatically.
3 Grasping the finger tab of the old ribbon cartridge, pull the
cartridge up, as shown in the diagram below.
4 Grasping the finger tab of the new ribbon cartridge, insert the
cartridge with its label facing up, as shown in the diagram
above.
5 Ensure that the printer ribbon is right over the printhead and
push the cartridge slightly to snap into place.
6 Close the cover firmly so that you can hear and feel that it
latches.
To clear the printhead area of used ribbon, turn the top
spool of the ribbon counterclockwise.
