Figure 5, Ribbon Take-up Spindle

NOTE: If you need to remove the ribbon take-up spindle, push the

spindle slightly to the right and slide the other end of the spindle

out of the notch on the left side of the printer. Remove the ribbon

take-up spindle.

To replace the ribbon take-up spindle, position the square end

(Figure 5, 1) of the spindle in the square notch on the right side

of the printer, push the spindle slightly to the right and slide the

other end of the spindle into the notch on the left side of the

printer.

6. Slide the end of the ribbon under the ribbon hold-down tab (Figure 5, 2)

so that about 2 inches (50.8 mm) protrudes past the tab. Fold the end of

the ribbon back on top of itself over the tab.

7. Turn the adjustment wheel (Figure 4, 5) a few complete clockwise

revolutions, to ensure that the ribbon will not pull out from under the

ribbon hold-down tab. The ribbon should now be snug and smoothed out

against the printhead.

NOTE: The spindle is self-adjusting and will smooth the ribbon out and

position it correctly as the adjustment wheel is turned.

8. Close the printer cover (Figure 1, 4).

NOTE: To remove ribbon from the ribbon take-up spindle, press and hold

the thumb lever (Figure 5, 4) to compress the spindle and slide

the spent ribbon off the spindle.
