printer.
These measures are
designed
to
help
you
keep
your printer
functioning
at
its best.
*
Place
your
printer on a
flat
and
level
surface,
like
a
tabletop.
*
Avoid placing
your
printer in
rooms
with
high
humidity.
*
Keep
your printer
as
dust-free
as
possible.
*
Keep
your
printer
out of
direct
sunlight.
*
Avoid
placing
your
printer
through
extreme
temperature
changes.
2. Installing the
Ribbon
Cassette
a.
Find
the packet that
contains
the
ribbon
cassette.
You
should
have
received this
packet in
the
same box
that your
printer
came
in.
b.
Remove the ribbon
cassette
from the
packet and
place it carefully in
front of
you.
c.
Look at the
cassette.
You
will
notice
that one side
has a flat
surface
while
the other side
has
little tabs
sticking
out. Place the cassette so
that the tabs
are closest to
you.
d. Now place the
ribbon
cassette on the
same
surface as
your printer.
Place
the cassette so
that it is
between you
and
your printer,
making
sure that the tabs are
still
closest to you.
e. Remove the clear
printer
cover
from
the top of
your printer.
f
Now look
at
the drawings
(2.1)
shown
on
the next
page.
As you can
see, you
should
install the ribbon
cassette on the right side
of your
printer first.
Be
sure to
install the right half of the cassette
on
the
right side
of
the printer (location
0).
g'
Lift both
parts
of the
cassette up to
the printer. Notice
that the
silver ribbon
holders in
the printer
have
holes
drilled into them.
These correspond to a
pin located
on
the
bottom of each
half of
the cassette.
