Snap the cartridge firmly into place on the left and right sides. Snap the ribbon guide onto the print head nozzle. Rotate the ribbon advance knob to remove any slack from the ribbon fabric. Move the print head all the way from left to right to verify it does not make contact with the ribbon cartridge. Close the top cover.
