Installing the Ribbon Cartridge
IMPORTANT
You have just bought the best printer, so be sure to use the only ribbons recommended
for it. Original Oki ribbons are the only ones recommended. Ask for them by name.
Please remember that if you buy any other ribbon your warranty may be invalidated.
Purchasing inferior ribbons really does not make sense. They do not last as long. They
are prone to shredding, which can cause damage to your printhead. That is why any
short term savings on cheaper ribbons are quickly lost.
So do not waste your time and money. Insist on Oki consumables for your Oki printer.
You can order them from your printer supplier.
1. Unpack the ribbon cartridge.
2. Open the printer access cover.
3. Centre the printhead.
Note: The printhead can get very hot during extended periods of printing—
be sure to let it cool off before you touch it.
4. Place the ribbon into the printer, push down so that the cartridge snaps into
position.
5. Turn the blue take-up knob clockwise to take up any ribbon slack.
