The LCD Display contains an Ink Capacity gauge. This gauge indicates the
amount of ink remaining in the ribbon cartridge using four bar segments, from E
(Empty) to F (Full).

The TCX-45 calculates the ink capacity of the ribbon cartridge from the number
of imprints made. As the ink capacity decreases, the bars in the gauge will
disappear. If the ribbon reaches below 25% capacity, the word “INK” will appear.
The “E”, “F” and “INK” characters will blink until the ribbon is replaced and the ink
counter is reset.

1. Insert the key provided and turn clockwise to unlock the cover.

2. Lift the cover to remove.

3. Remove the spacer between the Ribbon Cartridge and the Printer Carriage.

Making a Test Print

2. Insert a piece of paper or time card into the TCX-45. The clock will
automatically print YEAR, MONTH, DATE and TIME with AM or PM.

3. If the imprint is satisfactory, the TCX-45 is ready for use.
