INSTALLING RIBBON CASSETTE

The DMP 134 printer uses either standard black ribbons (26-1236A) or 
optional one-color ribbons (26-1235) which include one red, one blue, and 
one green ribbon.

If the ribbon is already installed, check to see that it is properly 
threaded between the paper and the print head.

If the ribbon cassette is not installed or needs to be replaced, follow 
this procedure.

1. Set the printer power switch to OFF/0.

NOTE: When you turn off the printer power, any information stored in the 
printer's buffer is lost.

2. Lay down the paper rack, slide it towards the back of the printer and 
   open the printer cover. If you need to remove the cover, set it in an 
   upright position and lift it upward.

3. Remove the old ribbon cassette by grasping its fin and gently pulling it 
   upward.

4. Unwrap the new ribbon cassette and tighten the ribbon by turning the 
   ribbon feed knob in the direction indicated by the arrow.

5. Gently thread the ribbon between the ribbon mask and the print head. 
   Press down on the left side of the cassette until you hear a click. 

6. Turn the ribbon feed knob in the direction indicated by the arrow, and 
   press down on the right side of the cassette.

If the ribbon feed knob does not match up with the ribbon drive mechanism, 
the cassette does not fall into place. Do not force the cassette into place. 
Instead, fit it into place gradually while turning the ribbon feed knob.

7. Once the new cassette is installed, tighten the ribbon by turning the 
   ribbon feed knob in the indicated direction.

8. Replace the printer cover by holding it upright and inserting its edge 
into the grooves on the printer. Lay it down and move the paper rack to 
its original position.

CAUTION: Printing without paper or ribbon can damage the print head or 
platen.
