## Replacing the ribbon cartridge

Follow these steps to install or replace the ribbon cartridge:

| Make sure the printer is turned off.

| Open the printer cover to the upright position, then pull it up to remove it.

| Warning:

If you have just used the printer, the print head may be hot; let it cool for a few minutes before replacing the ribbon cartridge.

| Make sure that the print head is in the replacement position.

|  | Note:

If not, move the print head to the replacement position manually.

| Grasp the ribbon guide and pull it until it is out of the print head.

| Hold the tabs at both sides of the printer and pull it out of the printer.

| Remove the new ribbon cartridge from its package.

| Hold the ribbon cartridge and insert it into the printer as shown below; then press both sides of the cartridge firmly to fit the plastic hooks into the printer slots.

| Slide it into the print head aligning it with the grooves of the print head until it clicks in place.

|  | Note:

Be sure that the ribbon is not twisted when you slide the ribbon guide into the print head.

| Turn the ribbon-tightening knob to remove any slack in the ribbon so that the ribbon moves freely.

| Close the printer cover.
