- Turn the power off.
- Open the printer cover.
- Pull the old ink roller up to remove it.
- Insert the new roller into the compartment and press down until it snaps into place.

Safety and Maintenance
Do not press any keys when the printer is on and no paper is loaded, as this may damage the print head. The device uses a CR2032 lithium battery for memory backup.
