The remaining ribbon can be used after repairing it with 
adhesive tape.

Before starting to repair the broken tape, be sure to turn 
the printer off. In this case, data will be lost.

Remove the torn ink ribbon, there may be a portion 
of the paper half printed.

Take out the leading edge of the paper and cut off 
the portion of the half printed paper, as required.

Set the paper roll back as it was.

Be sure that you can see the leading edge of the 
paper through the three holes.

Pull out the supply-side ribbon, attach one edge of 
a strip of adhesive tape over the entire end of the 

ribbon, then attach the other edge of the adhesive 
tape on the end of the take-up side ribbon.

Turn the take-up side ink ribbon several times to 
remove the slack from the ribbon.

Turn the power of the printer on.
After confirming that the red ERROR indicator 
goes off, press the cut button using a sharp-pointed 
object such as the tip of a mechanical pencil to chop 
off the leading portion of the paper (about 10 cm (4 
inches)).

Feed the paper until you 
can see the leading 
edge of the paper 
through the three holes.

Wind the spools to 
feed the ribbon out.

Attach one edge of a strip of adhesive 
tape over the entire end of the ribbon, 
then attach the other edge of the 
adhesive tape on the end of the take-up 
side ribbon.

Turn the spools of the take-
up side ribbon until the 
ribbon is smoothed.
