How to use

Turn off the printer and open the ribbon compartment according to the printer manufacturer instructions.

Close the compartment, power on the printer and run a test print or ribbon advance to confirm proper installation and even ink transfer.

Use the ribbon with compatible Olivetti dot matrix models and on appropriate continuous or multipart forms for best results.
