First Alert ACTION T-1000 - Manual (Page 13)

Installing and Replacing the Ribbon
The printer uses a continuous-loop, inked fabric ribbon. It is enclosed in
a cartridge that makes ribbon installation and replacement a clean and
easy job.
To install the ribbon, follow these steps:
1. Remove the lid at the front of the printer by lifting the handles.
Removing the lid enables you to see the print head, which is shown
below.
CAUTION:
The power must be off when you move the print
head because moving the print head when the power is on
may damage your printer. Also, if you’ve been using your
printer, be careful not to touch the print head because it
becomes hot during use. Let it cool for a few minutes.
