before you touch it. Be sure the power is off before you move the printhead.

bail is closed (bail lever toward back of printer).
Install/Replace the Ribbon Cartridge
ÎBe sure to use only ribbons specifically for MICROLINE 320/321 or MICROLINE 100 Series
printers. Ribbon cartridges for ML390/391 printers look similar, but they will not fit in the ML320/321.
For best result use genuine OKIDATA ribbons, part number 52102001.
If you're replacing the ribbon cartridge, swing the front of the cartridge up off the printhead, then
lift the cartridge out and discard it. Hold the new ribbon cartridge with the knob facing up and the
flat end toward the front of the printer. Place the flat end into the ribbon plate(8) then lower the
front of the cartridge over the printhead until it snaps into place (9). Turn the knob in the direction
of the arrow to take up the slack in the ribbon.
