4. INSTALLATION OF INK RIBBON AND PAPER

4-1. Installation of Ink Ribbon

(1) Turn power off, lift the Printer Cover up and remove it.

Note: Be careful not to touch the print head immediately after printing,

because it can get very hot.

Figure 4-1. Printer Cover Removal

(2) Unwind ribbon so that the spools are separated as shown in Figure 4-3.

Hold the ribbon taut as shown with the drive pins facing down and slide the

ribbon between the print head and the platen. While keeping the ribbon taut,

wrap one side around the black ribbon guide on the end of the platen and

drop one spool on the spool shaft. As you move the spool downwards, move

the detecting lever aside to allow the spool to drop into place. Make sure the

spool drive pins engage with the spool drive holes. As the spool drops into

place there will be a click.

(3) While continuing to hold the ribbon taut, install the remaining ribbon spool

in a similar fashion.

(4) Turn the spool that rotates freely to take up the ribbon slack.
