The flowchart below shows what to do if the printing quality is not good.

Set the lever correctly.

Remove the print head and install it
correctly.

Install the ribbon cartridge correctly.

Turn off power and change the
ribbon cartridge.

•  Defective ribbon feed mechanism.
    (Make sure the ribbon cartridge 
    engages the ribbon feed shaft gear.)
•  Defective ribbon cartridge.
