MODEL PRINTERS

5000 Series Quick Reference Guide
The ribbon fabric in the cartridge is placed between the drive gears of the
deck as the cartridge is lowered onto the deck. When the locking lever is
moved to the RUN position, the drive gears move together to grip the
fabric.
Gears
After the ribbon cartridge is in place and the locking lever has been
turned to the RUN position, manually turning the black ribbon drive knob clockwise advances the ribbon fabric.
Information on the 55 dBa (5180) cabinet model printer can be
found in the User's Manual.
The topside of the ribbon cartridge has a window for viewing the ribbon
fabric, the yellow spool knob for taking up slack in the ribbon, and an
orange slide lever used to position internal parts. A removable shipping
tab is located in the window on new cartridges. The bottom side has an
opening for the ribbon deck drive gears and locking lever. When the
ribbon is installed, the locking lever and ribbon drive knob will pass
through the openings in the topside of the cartridge. Some ribbon
cartridges have a re-inker for longer life. The re-inker lever should be
rotated clockwise after the ribbon installation.
