−

Two ribbon mandrels are used for loading ribbon; one is inserted in the supply (unused) ribbon core

and the other is inserted the ribbon takeup core. Wind the ribbon from the takeup mandrel until most

wrinkles are no longer visible.

NOTE

The following procedure may help in loading the ribbon. First insert the mandrels into the supply

and takeup ribbon cores, affix a small piece of adhesive tape at the end of the ribbon and then wind

the ribbon around the takeup mandrel until the tape is hidden. Finally, install the ribbon by passing it

through the lower side of the printhead assembly.

CAUTION

Be sure to wind the ribbon sufficiently over the adhesive clear tape fastened to the end of the

ribbon.
