## Replacing the ribbon cartridge

Follow these steps to install or replace the ribbon cartridge:

| Make sure the printer is turned off.

| 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.

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

| Make sure that the print head is in position at 10 cm (4 inches) from the left side. (If it is not, turn on the printer, and then, turn off the printer.) Then remove the ribbon cartridge from the paper.

| Remove the new ribbon cartridge from its package.

| Turn the ribbon-tightening knob in the direction of the arrow to remove any slack from the ribbon so it is easier to install.

| Reinstall and close the printer cover
