RIBBON INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT

If the ribbon cassette is already installed, simply check to see that it is
properly threaded between the head mask and the print head.

If the ribbon cassette is not installed, or if it must be replaced due to
excessive wear, faint printing, etc., follow this procedure:

1. Set the power switch to OFF.  (NOTE: When you turn the power OFF, any
   information stored in the Printer's buffer will automatically be lost.)

2. Open the top cover.

3. Gently grasp the ribbon cassette at the corners nearest the paper and
   remove it by lifting both sides.

4. Unwrap the new cassette and remove the packing foam.  Before inserting
   the new cassette, tighten the ribbon by turning the knob in the
   direction indicated by the arrow.

5. Insert the exposed ribbon between the head mask and the print head.
   Then, place the ribbon cassette on the cassette holder, and press down.
   The ribbon cassette is set.  Do not force the cassette into place!  If
   the cassette is not properly fit, the cassette knob will not match up
   with the shaft from the carriage.  Do not force the cassette down, but
   fit it in gradually while turning the cassette knob in the indicated
   direction.

6. Once the new cassette is installed, be sure the ribbon is in between the
   head mask and the print head.  If necessary, tighten the ribbon by
   turning the cassette knob in the indicated direction.

7. Move the carriage back and forth manually to check that the ribbon
   advances properly.  If the ribbon has not been properly fitted between
   the head mask and the print head, the ribbon feed will not operate
   smoothly.

8. Close the top cover.  If it is hard to insert the ribbon between the
   print head and the head mask, move the copy control lever to position
   #4, and insert the ribbon.  After setting the ribbon cassette, move the
   copy control lever to the correct position.
