Installing the platen knob
The platen knob is packed into a recess in the 
packaging material.
❏
Install the knob on the shaft located inside the 
large hole on the left side of the printer. Make 
sure that the two splines of the platen shaft inside 
the printer fit into the slots inside the knob’s 
spindle. Press the knob carefully but firmly into 
place as far as it will go.
Installing the ribbon cassette
❏
Make sure the printer is unplugged from its 
power outlet.
❏
Remove the front cover of the printer.
❏
Remove the ribbon cassette from its package.
❏
Rotate the knob on the ribbon cassette clockwise 
to take up any slack in the ribbon.
❏
By hand, move the cartridge holder to the left 
side where there is a cut-out in the top guide to 
allow easy installation and removal of the ribbon 
cassette.
❏
Carefully place the cassette onto the cartridge 
holder making sure that the spindle of the holder 
fits into the socket on the bottom of the cartridge. 
Also make sure that the side tabs fit into the 
grooves on the sides of the cartridge holder. 
Caution!
Never move the print head while the printer is turned 
on. Doing so can damage the printer. If you have just 
finished printing, let the print head cool for a few 
minutes before you touch it.
