6. Slide the ribbon with cardboard core onto the Supply roller, as shown in the
figure below.
Note that the cardboard core has two notches that align with the metal pins on
the Supply roller.

cardboard core with the edges on the ribbon aligned to the edges of the

the roller and the ribbon is showing.
The ribbon should be pulled tight with no creases in the ribbon.

one way).
