If replacing the ribbon cartridge unsnap ribbon cartridge holddown
at left side of ribbon cartridge (see Figure 6-5).
NOTE
The LG31 printer has a ribbon weld sensor that detects
the point where the two ends of the ribbon are welded
together.
Printing is temporarily suspended for a few
seconds until the ribbon weld passes a certain point for
printing to resume. If display [ S U S] persists for more
than one minute, it may be caused by a damaged ribbon or
defective ribbon weld detector.
