Black Fabric Cartridge  (26-1288)

If the Ribbon Cassette 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. Open the Top cover.

3. Gently grasp the Ribbon Cassette and remove the Cassette by lifting it
   upward.

NOTE: Every time you replace the ribbon cassette, clean the two ribbon 
guide posts (located at the left end of the carriage shaft) with a soft 
dry cloth."

4. Unwrap the new Cassette and remove the packing foam.

5. Gently move the Print Head to the extreme right.

CAUTION: Be sure Printer power is OFF before manually moving the Print Head.

6. Hold the new Ribbon Cassette and pass the ribbon end around the Ribbon
   Guide Posts at the left of the Printer; then move the Cassette toward 
   the right to draw out the ribbon.

7. Gently press the Cassette down until it is firmly secured by the Stopper
   Claw of the Cassette Holder. Do not force the Cassette into place! If 
   the Cassette is not properly fitted, the Cassette Knob will not match 
   up with the shaft from the Cassette Holder. Do not force the Cassette 
   down, but fit it in gradually while pushing and turning the Cassette 
   Knob in the indicated direction.

8. Once the new Cassette is installed, move the carriage back and forth
   manually. The ribbon will be gradually inserted between the Ribbon Guide
   and Print Head.

9. Keep moving the Carriage and check that the ribbon advances properly. If
   the ribbon has not been properly fitted between the Ribbon Guide and 
   Print Head (i.e., into the Print Head Ribbon Guide Bezel), the ribbon 
   feed will not operate smoothly.

10. Close the Top Cover.
