Ribbon Replacement

The ribbon should be replaced when the imprint of the time card appears
light or when the following message appears in the display:
Always use Amano approved ribbons. Non-Amano ribbons bind in the
printer carriage, and produce weak quality prints and ink residue on print
head, rollers, and the time card.
Note: Extreme care should be used when removing the ribbon. Verify
that the Mode Switch is set to PROGRAM before attempting to
remove the ribbon. Forcing the ribbon out of the ribbon carriage
may damage the ribbon guide.
Perform the following steps to replace the ribbon:
Step 1. Remove the top cover.
Step 2. Set the Mode Switch to PROGRAM.
Step 3. Grasp the front panel from the bottom and flip it up.
Step 4. Using two fingers, press the two white release tabs down and
towards the case, and while holding them, remove the ribbon.
