To install the ribbon, first ensure the printer is powered off and the print head has cooled down. Open the printer cover and carefully remove the empty ribbon cartridge by releasing the locking mechanism. Insert the new Pelikan ribbon cartridge, ensuring the ribbon is correctly positioned between the print head and the platen. Gently turn the manual tension knob on the cartridge to remove any slack in the ribbon before closing the printer cover and resuming operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your specific printer model against the compatibility list
• Ensure the printer is a dot matrix type
• Check the current ribbon cartridge housing to confirm physical fit

For optimal print quality and to extend the lifespan of your printer's print head, it is recommended to replace the ribbon as soon as the text becomes faint or uneven. Always store unused ribbons in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain ink integrity.
