INSTALLING THE RIBBON
Your cash register comes with the ri bbon already installed. The ribbon releases special ink to the printhead which
produces the printout. After a period of time, depending upon the amount of use, the ink in the ribbon will be used
up. When printout becomes faint, the ribbon needs to be replaced.
CAUTION: The ribbon is not designed to be re-inked. Under no circumstances should this be done or
permanent damage to your cash register printer may result. Such damage will not be covered under Royal's
warranty.
