2023-10-17

Nowadays, most printers use ink cartridges, but some still use ribbons. However, many friends do not know how to replace ribbons. Replacing ribbons may seem difficult and actually simple. Below, we will teach you how to replace ribbons.


Step 1: First, we open the new ribbon, find the side with the box, and slowly move inside. Note that one side of the new ribbon is flipped, and some are just flipped for you, all of which are similar.


Step 2: After determining the direction, we will find the twisted installation area on the new ribbon and place it on the left side without gears.


Step 3: Some of them are not boxed, so it's a bit troublesome to pack the ribbon without a box.


Step 4, then invert the ribbon into the ribbon rack. And pull out the ribbon from both sides, paying attention to pulling it from the back to the front.


Step 5: After pulling out the ribbon, fix both ends, and finally enter along both sides of the gear, clip it in the middle, and gently break it open with your hand to clip the ribbon in. Then roll the gear for testing to see if it is functioning properly. Once it is functioning properly, it can be loaded into the printer for testing.
