1. First, turn the power OFF.

2. Loosen the screws on the printer cover and draw out

the printer unit. Remove the printing paper. (Refer to

"Replacing the Printing Paper," p. 10.)

3. Remove the printer cover carefully: it can be

detached from the unit by lightly lifting up.

4. Remove the old ink ribbon by lifting it up when the

arrow position of the printer unit is pushed.

5. Set the new ink ribbon in place being careful not to

roll the ribbon. After the ribbon is in place, turn the

right knob of the ink ribbon in the direction of the

arrow shown in the figure to the left.

6. Reattach the printer cover by setting the bosses and

sliding the cover down.

7. Set the printing paper, see page 11.

8. Return the unit to its original position and tighten the

screws on the printer cover.

Note 1 : Do not apply excessive force to the printer unit. If normal, it can

be drawn out easily. If it is hard to take out return it once and

draw it out again. The guide may be damaged if excessive force

is applied vertically or horizontally.

Note 2: The printer is made of precision components and could be

damaged if metallic powder, water or other foreign substance get

inside the printer. Also be careful of static electricity when the

printer is drawn out.

If dust and other foreign substance get inside the unit, blow it out

with clean air. If the unit is used in a dusty environment consider

using a dust cover or air purge when not in use.
