HP 250 - Replacing Ribbon Cartridges

HP 2608 Printer
Use the UP and DOWN Forms Adjust switches to make the final
fine adjustment for locating the first line of print. The UP
switch advances paper one dot row at a time. If the switch
is held down, paper will continue to advance. The DOWN
switch retracts paper; however, if the platen is not open,
you must tension the paper below the printer (or release the
platen) to allow it to move in the reverse direction. Use of
these Forms Adjust switches never changes logical Top Of
Form. Final forms adjustment must be made by moving the
paper upward with the platen closed to ensure proper
tensioning of the paper.
8) A horizontal scale located on the top of the core bar
provides column locations for each of the 132 print columns.
Horizontal adjustments may be made by unclamping both
tractors and moving both tractors and paper to the desired
position.
9) Close the access cover. Be certain that the leading edge of
the paper protrudes through the paper exit without binding.
10) Logical Top Of Form is defined as the present paper position
when the printer is put on-line after a paper-out condition
has occurred.
11) To remove paper, tear below the machine (inside the stand)
and operate the FORM FEED switch until all paper is clear of
the machine.
CAUTION
Do not pull paper down through the printer;
perforations may catch and damage the rib-
bon shield or paper out switches.
Replacing Ribbon Cartridges
Tools are not required to install or remove the ribbon cartridge.
NOTE
An interlock prevents printing when either
ribbon cartridge is removed or the platen
is open. A fault indication will be dis-
played on the control panel by the
PLATEN/RIBBON indicator during ribbon re-
moval and installation.
