Preparing to Operate the 1330
Installing the Ribbon Cartridge
A monochrome ribbon cartridge is shipped with the 1330. Remember that if you have a
monochrome ribbon installed, the 1330 will print in one color only. A multitrack color
ribbon cartridge must be installed to allow printing in different colors.
Ordering Ribbons
You can use a Shifting ribbon or a Nonshifting ribbon in the 1330-X02. The ribbons have
the same character life and for monochrome printing can be used interchangeably.
Caution
Use only approved ribbons that are available from MTX. Third party ribbons may not be
compatible, resulting in improper operation and decreased print head life.
To order additional ribbon cartridges for the 1330-X02, contact your MTX Sales
Representative. Request the following ribbon cartridge part number(s):

Following are instructions for installing each ribbon type.
Installing a Shifting Ribbon
This section explains how to install a Shifting ribbon cartridge. You will need to install a
new ribbon when the existing ribbon wears out. Refer to Figure 2-3.
1.
Make sure that the printer’s Power switch is in the O (OFF) position. Unplug the
power cord from the outlet.
2.
Raise the printer cover.
3.
Set the platen gap lever away from the platen (toward you) as far as it will go (see
Figure 2-4).
4.
Slide the print head to the middle of the printer.
Caution
The print head may be hot. To move it, grasp the print head drive belt.
