adjusted properly.

In the normal position, the “dual-tension” ribbon supply spindle provides
the desired amount of ribbon back tension for different ribbon widths.
To place the spindle in the normal position, firmly pull the spindle end cap
(a) until it clicks into place, as shown in Figure 11.

Low-tension position is used in limited applications to provide lower
ribbon back tension. Low-tension position is only recommended when
normal tension hampers the ribbon movement (for example, you will see
scuffing or image breakup on the label).
To put the spindle in the low-tension position, firmly push the spindle end
cap (a) until it clicks into place, as shown in Figure 11.
