Ribbon Shield Installation in DP8 & DP9

Ribbon shield installation is easy, but you have to pay attention


Ribbon shields keep copy streak free. They can, however, cause problems if they are worn or bent during installation. The DP8 and DP9 were designed to leave the ribbon shield in the printer while ribbons are replaced. If you need to remove a ribbon shield, pull it out to the right as shown below.

After raising carriage with the lifter ring, center the carriage and pull the ribbon shield down and out to the right.

Before reinstalling shield, check that the shield face is perpendicular to the shield base or back
