How to use

To install the ribbon, first ensure the printer is powered off and the print head has moved to the center position. Open the printer cover and carefully remove the old ribbon cartridge.

Gently rotate the 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 printer model compatibility with the Epson LQ or DLQ series
• Ensure the ribbon width matches your specific printer requirements
• Check the current ink level of your existing ribbon to confirm replacement is necessary

Usage recommendations

For optimal print quality and to extend the life of your printer's print head, replace the ribbon as soon as the text becomes faint. Always store the ribbon in its original packaging in a cool, dry place to prevent the ink from drying out prematurely.
