Fitting the motor and ribbon is usually no problem, the problem usually lies in setting the printer to recognise the colour kit. The following procedure explains how to do this. 1. Switch on your printer and ensure it is OFF LINE. 2. Press the MENU button once. 3. Press the JUMP button once. 4. Press the MENU button once. 5. Press the SELECT button once. 6. Press the SAVE button once. 7. Press the JUMP button 5 times. 8. Press the SELECT button twice. 9. Press the SAVE button 3 times. Installation now complete. To test that the installation was successful put paper in the printer and switch on whilst holding down the JUMP key. This will perform a self test and print different coloured text. When you switch on the printer you will see MACRO 1 flash on the printer display. This means that the printer has been set to the setting saved in MACRO 1. The above steps 1-9 changed MACRO 1 to tell the printer it has a coloured ribbon installed. The macro feature of the Swift is very powerful and something that is well worth closer investigation with the aid of the manual.
