Warning:
You need to move the print head by hand to remove the ribbon
cartridge. If you have just used the printer, the print head may
be hot; let it cool for a few minutes before touching it.
1. Remove any paper loaded in the printer. Make sure the
printer is turned off.
2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet; then
disconnect the interface cable from the printer.
3. Remove the paper guide base.
4. If a pull tractor is installed, remove it as described on page
“Removing the pull tractor” on page 2-31. If any options are
installed, remove them and pack them in their original boxes.
5. Make sure that the print head is not hot. Then remove the
ribbon cartridge as described in Chapter 1.
6. Remove the paper tension unit as described on page 2-22.
Attach the protective locking clips on both sides of the printer
roller. Then install the paper tension unit as described on page
2-32.
7. Make sure the tractor that comes with your printer is installed
in the front push position. See “Loading paper onto the front
push tractor” on page 2-12 for instructions.

came with the printer.
