Replacing the Ribbon Out Sensor
You must remove the bottom case before performing this procedure.
Removal
1. Use a small flat bladed screwdriver to release the ribbon guide’s right-side tab from the
ribbon carriage. Pull the left side of the guide free from the ribbon carriage.
2. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw securing the ribbon out sensor circuit
board.
3. Remove the five screws securing the ribbon carriage’s right side cover to the frame and
remove the cover.
4. Remove the clip securing the sensor’s flex cable to the side of the printer’s chassis.
5. Release the sensor’s flex cable from the Main Logic circuit board. Lift the latch to release
the cable. The single screw securing the Main Logic circuit board can be removed to gain
better access to the connector.
6. Slide the flex cable out of the cable clamps, lower chassis and ribbon carriage.
Caution • Prepare your work area by protecting against static discharge. Your work area
must be static-safe and include a properly grounded conductive cushioned mat to hold the
printer and a conductive wrist strap for yourself.
