Why choose the genuine Lexmark 3070166 ink ribbon
Genuine Lexmark ink ribbon for dot matrix printers: ink-impregnated fabric matched to the pin head. Even printing from the first to the last character, without drying out or wearing the head prematurely.
When to replace it
Replace the ribbon as soon as printing fades: waiting wears the pin head.

Check the exact reference of your printer (label or Information menu); suffixes are variants of the same series and generally use the same consumables. If in doubt, send us the exact model.
Installation
With printing stopped, open the cover, remove the used cassette, tighten the new ribbon with the knob, insert the cassette and feed the ribbon between the head and the guide, then tighten again. Clean hands: the ribbon is inked.
Use and tips
For tills, logbooks and multipart forms (invoices, delivery notes) on dot matrix printers: the ribbon prints until the ink runs out, with no counter; keep a cassette in reserve.
Store cassettes in their packaging away from heat: the ribbon does not dry out while packed. Faint printing on one side only means a slack ribbon; tighten it with the knob.
