Chapter 4 Media (Paper) and Ribbon
2Two ribbon bobbins are used for loading ribbon; one is inserted in the source (unused) ribbon core and the other is inserted in the destination ribbon core. And wind ribbons two or three times around the destination ribbon core by hand.
NOTE
The following procedure may help you load the ribbon more easily. First insert the bobbins into the source and destination ribbon cores, affix the adhesive tape at the end of the ribbon and then wind the ribbon around the bobbin until the tape is hidden. Finally, set 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.
