4. Cartridge Ribbon Setting

EPSON's Cartridge Ribbon is compact, long-lasting, and very easy to set and re-

move. Furthermore, you have no need to soil your fingers in handling it.

STEP 1. Open the printer lid (or remove it).

2. Confirm that the scale (paper retainer) is turned toward the platen and is

touching it.

3. Push the cartridge ribbon down and set it on the printer mechanism. To fa-

cilitate the cartridge ribbon setting, be sure to hold the projection at the

center of the cartridge case when pushing the cartridge ribbon down. (See

Fig. 8)

4. Put the ribbon between the head nose and the ribbon mask. In this case,

the ribbon can be set easily by hooking it to the edge of the head nose and

turning the ribbon feeding knob of the cartridge case in the direction of the

arrow (i.e., counterclockwise) while depressing the ribbon with a ball-point

pen, Then, tension the ribbon by turning the ribbon feeding knob counter-

clockwise. (See Fig.9)
