Removing the ribbon cassette
Use the following procedure to remove the ribbon
cassette from the printer when you want to replace it
with a new one.
Make sure that the printer is unplugged from its
power outlet.
Open the front cover of the printer.
By hand, move the cartridge holder to the center
position of the paper guide where there is a
cutout to allow easy installation and removal of
the ribbon cassette.
Important!
Never try to move the print head while the printer is
plugged into a power outlet. Doing so can damage
the printer. If you have just used the printer, let the
print head cool for a few minutes before you touch it.
Using your thumb and forefinger to squeeze the
two tabs on the ribbon cassette towards the
center, carefully remove the cassette from the
holder.
Use the procedure under "Installing the ribbon
cassette" on page 7 to install a new cassette.
