RIBBON CASSETTE

If the ribbon is already installed, simply check to see that it is properly
threaded between the paper and 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. Remove the Printer cover.

3. Unwrap the new cassette. Before inserting the new cassette, tighten the
   ribbon by turning the knob in the direction indicated by the arrow. To
   replace the ribbon cassette, grasp the fin on the cassette and gently pull
   the ribbon cassette upward.

4. Gently slide the ribbon between the ribbon mask and the print head. Gently
   press down on the left side of the cassette until you hear a click sound.
   While rotating the cassette knob in the direction indicated by the arrow,
   press down the right side of the cassette.

Do not force the cassette into place! If the cassette is not properly fitted,
the cassette knob will not match up with the ribbon drive mechanism. Do not
force the cassette down but fit it in gradually while turning the cassette
knob in the indicated direction.

5. Once the new cassette is installed, tighten the ribbon by turning the
   cassette knob in the indicated direction.

6. Replace the Printer cover.

NOTE: Do not print without paper or a ribbon. The print head or platen will be
damaged.
