Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the ribbon, ensure your Citizen printer is powered off. Open the printer housing, remove the exhausted ribbon cartridge by gently lifting it out of its tracks, and snap the new Alpa-Cartridge MD910 into place, ensuring the fabric ribbon sits correctly between the print head and the platen. Before closing the lid, manually turn the adjustment knob on the cartridge to take up any slack in the ribbon to prevent jamming. Store your spare cartridges in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent the ink from drying out prematurely. Compatibility is strictly limited to the Citizen IR91 and MD910 printer series.
