Use only the following Epson replacement ribbon cartridges: the #8750 ribbon cartridge for the FX-850 or the #8755 ribbon cartridge for the
FX-1050.
To replace the ribbon follow the procedure below:
1. Turn off the power to the printer and remove the printer cover.
WARNING: If the printer has been used recently, the print head may be hot. Let it cool before attempting to replace the ribbon.
