Ribbon Cartridge Replacement

Step 1.

Insert the clock key (required to unlock the cover),

turn clockwise, lift up the cover (see figure), and

remove for ribbon access. Locate the ribbon

cradle.

Note:

You MUST have the key to remove the cover for

ribbon replacement.

The Amano

PIX-55 clock

pictured to the right,

shows a typical

layout with the

ribbon cartridge

installed in the

cradle.

Step 2.

Pull the two release tabs ("B") upward, and

hold with index and middle fingers (see

figure).

Step 3.

While holding the release tabs in an upward

position, grasp the tab on the ribbon cassette,

and pull the ribbon cassette out of the cradle

(see figure).

Note:

If the print mechanism is down (a piece of

paper could not be inserted), press the RESET

button to move the carriage up. This will make

the ribbon installation easier.

Step 4.

Insert a new ribbon and be sure to mount it

between the ribbon guide and the printer

head as illustrated (see figure and arrows).

I have lost my key to our Amano Pix 55 and the time is incorrect on it. Is there a way to reset it without the key? I have tried unplugging it and that did not work to reset it. We lost power for over 18 hours recently and when it came back on it was wrong

Yes, the Amano PIX-55 can be reset without the key. The reset button is located on the bottom right back corner of the clock inside a hole, and it can be accessed without removing the back plate. Pressing this button may clear error messages and reset the clock. However, if reprogramming is needed, access to the programming buttons requires unlocking the top cover with a key.
