Attach and Tighten the Ribbon
You must align the ribbon so that it will
be taken straight onto the core.
1. Attach the ribbon to the take up core.
Use the adhesive strip on new rolls;
otherwise, use tape.
2. Turn the ribbon take-up gear
counter-clockwise (top moves toward
rear) to remove slack from the ribbon.
3. Close the top cover. Remember that
you need to release the cover lock,
lower the top cover, and press down
until the latches snap into place.
