4. Verify that the Ribbon Supply Core and the Ribbon Take-up Core have two slots on
the left side of the core 180-degree’s apart. If the width of the ribbon is less than the
minimum core width or if no slots are present, insert one of the supplied Ribbon Core
Adapters into each ribbon core.
5. The Slots in the Ribbon Core should mate to the Notches in the Left Ribbon Supply
Holder and the Left Take-Up Holder. If using the Ribbon Core Adapter, the adapter’s
notches will mate with the slots in the Ribbon Holders.
Note: The notches are the drive mechanism and the ribbon out reporting for the ribbon.
If the slots for the Ribbon Core are not correct, contact your ribbon supplier to
obtain the correct ribbon. If you need the Ribbon Core Adapter, contact your
printer supplier.
