6. By using the manual feed knob (or the Paper Feed button - if
power is connected), feed the paper through the mechanism
and leave approximately 6mm (1/4") of paper protruding from
the mechanism. Ensure that the paper lies between the ink
ribbon and the cassette housing.
7. Tighten the ink ribbon in its cassette by turning the star-
shaped disc (on right-hand end of cassette) two or three
turns clockwise.
8. Close the case and secure the lid catch.
9. Press the Paper Feed button until the paper emerges past
the tear-off edge.
10. Press the On Line button and the printer is now ready for
operation.
2.3 RIBBON CASSETTE REPLACEMENT
Printing on plain paper in the Loadrite Printer is achieved by use
of an inked ribbon which is contained in a replaceable cassette.
The ribbon will normally last for 2 to 3 rolls of paper.
To Replace the Cassette:
1. Open the lid of the printer. If there is paper in the
mechanism, remove it by cutting the paper close to the exit
slot of the mechanism.
IMPORTANT
Do not pull the paper roll backwards through the printer
mechanism as this will cause irreparable damage!
2. Press down on the left-hand end of the cassette to pop the
right-hand end up. The cassette can now be lifted out.
3. The new cassette is fitted in the reverse order to removal,
i.e. position the right-hand end of the new cassette in the
mechanism and gently push the left-hand end home.
4. Ensure that the paper lies between the ink ribbon and the
cassette housing.
