If you don't have the instruction book, observe the old ribbon. Take off one portion of the old one at a time, and replace it with the new one. You may be able to Google the instructions.

Red side goes down, black side goes up. There are pegs on the bottom of the spools that fit into the spool carriage. Place one spool on either side first. Guide the ribbon around the outside of the metal guide on the side you start with, thread the ribbon between the printer and the roller, guide the ribbon around the opposite metal guide, and place the remaining spool on the other post. Make sure that the ribbon is in the "grooves on the metal guides and the printer head, then gently wind one of the spools until the slack is removed from the ribbon. The ribbon should automatically advance when you print and should reverse direction when it reaches the end of the spool. Hope that this helps. Red side goes down, black side goes up.

I think it may depend on your calculator, but I just put one spool in ran the ribbon through the "track" like setup that it runs through to be used and placed the other spool on it's holder.

Yes, just connected the ribbon and worked without modification for XPS 15" L502X

Buy at an office supply place for this model. It comes in cartridge. Take out the plastic window. Look inside and you will see the old cartridge ribbon. Make note of how it fits in there. Pop it out and replace with new one.

There is no ribbon...little ink rollers....I haven't seen ribbons in calculators for many years....take it to Staples....or any stationery store...they will help you.

It's just the generic black/red cloth ribbon on a 2 spools they sell for adding machines everywhere---That's why I picked this machine--those ribbons last a long time & are relatively inexpensive.

Weldbond will adhere that ribbon like it is part of the glass...forever. It is incredible!

Yes, it comes with the keyboard ribbon connector. Fantastic. Sturdy. Just like the original casing only without your computer's serial number, so you'll have to use a permanent marker to make sure that's written inside.

Mike, you loose nothing at all. Its like, if you get a new monitor for a computer.... You're only replacing the display and your programs are not affected. I can't express enough... you must have patience when connecting the ribbon cables. Other than that it's pretty straight forward. Hope this helps.

if you have the brother 1230 there should be a lever by the ribbon or next to it somewhere in the top area , pull it forward I believe and it just lifts out and put in the new ribbon and close the lever back.

There is no ribbon. It has a ink roller. Go to Canon website http://downloads.canon.com/cpr/software/calculator/P23-DHV-(USA-HWB).pdf , page 4 right hand side has instructions.

Normally you don't need a 'ribbon cable'. Your laptop cable fits right to the monitor's connector. I only received one from the seller AFTER the monitor they sent me had the monitor connector on the opposite side as the item photograph. In other words, the monitor's built-in connector was on the opposite side of the LCD as pictured... so instead of sending the whole LCD back they sent me an extension cable which worked great.

Yes from what I seen. When I use ribbon I get wallsaver removable mounting tape or 2 sided scotch tape.

I am sorry, but I don't know the answer. The last time I bought this ribbon, I had to rewind it on the spools that were already on the typewriter. It is a Royal. the spool slots did not match up, but the width was fine, so I just took it of the spool it came on and wound it up on my spools.I hope this helps. Larry S

There is a tiny slot to the side to access the GPIO pins. It is perfect for a ribbon cable, but seems like it would be a bit of a pain to work with. You would have to disassemble the case to do any re-attaching.

Yes. Do yourself a favor and replace the ribbon cable with a NEW one. Could be the only problem

Mine did not have the ribbon on it anywhere. It is just a brighter prettier pink. I love it.

All the ribbons I've bought have been individually wrapped. So far it has not mattered what company I purchased them, they are all wrapped separately.
