English Removing the Dampers The printer is protected for shipping by two transportation dampers that you must remove before you turn on the printer. Open the printer by pulling the tab on the front cover, and remove the two dampers shown in illustration 1 . Note: Reinstall the dampers before shipping. 1 Using the Power Switch Cover WARNING: If an accident occurs with the power switch cover attached, unplug the power cord immediately. Continued use may cause fire. The enclosed power switch cover keeps the power switch from being pressed accidentally. To use the cover, install it as shown in illustration 2 . 2 Installing the Ribbon Cassette Use the EPSON ERC-31 ribbon cassette.
The use of any ribbon cassettes other than those approved by Epson may damage the printer and will void the warranty. CAUTION: Never turn the ribbon cassette’s feed knob in the opposite direction of the arrow marked on the cassette; otherwise the ribbon cassette may be damaged. 1. Turn the printer on, and open the front cover by pulling up the tab on the left side. 2. Be sure the print head is on the right side. 3. If a ribbon is already installed, remove it by grasping the end of the tab and removing it from the printer. TM-H5000II User’s Manual 7
