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 direct-
   ion 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 turn-
   ing the cassette knob in the indicated direction.

7. Move the carriage back and forth manually to check that the ribbon advan-
   ces 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 cont-
   rol lever to the correct position.
