Changing The Correction Tape

1) Move the print carrier to the center of the platen using the

SPACE

or

BS

key.

2) To replace the correction tape, lift out the typing ribbon cassette (see Changing

The Ribbon Cassette) and remove the two spools of the lift off tape by pulling
them outwards.

3) Place the empty spool of new tape on the left pin so that the tape winds

clockwise. Place the tape around the left guide. Pull the tape around the right
guide and place the loaded spool on the right pin so that the tape unwinds
counter-clockwise.

Make sure the sticky side of the tape is facing the platen.

4) Manually turn the left-hand spool in the clockwise direction, tightening the tape

until resistance is felt.

5) Replace the typing ribbon cassette.
