The following is helpful information for using your impact printer.
Installing the Cartridge Ribbon
If the printer is used infrequently, the print impression sometimes
becomes weak because the ribbon dries out. If the printed material is
difficult to read and you suspect this is the cause of the problem,
advance to a properly inked portion of the ribbon by pressing the printer
toggle switch into the Paper feed position. If the printing is still faint,
replace the cartridge.
To install the cartridge, complete the following steps:
1 Toggle the printer off line by pressing the printer toggle switch to the
OnLine / Off Line position. When the printer is off line, the Ready
LED does not illuminate.
2 Four small grooves are embossed on the printer cover. Gently push
on these grooves to tilt the cover. When the printer cover is tilted up,
you can lift it off completely.
3 Push down on the right side of the ribbon cartridge (marked PUSH)
and remove the old cartridge.
4 Install the new cartridge. If there is already paper in the printer, hold
the cartridge between your thumb and index finger, slide it over the
paper and into the printer compartment. Ensure the paper is between
the ribbon cartridge and the ink ribbon. Ensure the ink cartridge is
inserted firmly to prevent weak or irregular printing. The cartridge
must be properly seated and aligned for the best printing.
5 Turn the cartridge knob (marked by an arrow) clockwise to stretch
the ribbon taut.
6 Replace the cover.
7 Toggle the printer online by pressing the printer toggle switch to the
OnLine / Off Line position. The Ready LED illuminates.
8 Replace the paper, if necessary.
