Insert the cartridge firmly into the designated slot, ensuring that the ribbon feeds smoothly around the print head guide as specified in your device manual. Close the printer cover and perform a test print to verify proper alignment and ink transfer.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your specific printer or calculator model to ensure compatibility with the Epson HX-20 or M-160, M-180, and M-190 series.
• Confirm that your device utilizes dot matrix ribbon cartridges rather than toner or ink cartridges.

Usage recommendations: Store spare ribbon cartridges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve ink quality. Replace the cartridge promptly when print density fades to maintain optimal readability of all printed documents.
