Attach and Tighten the Ribbon

You must align the ribbon so that it will be taken straight onto the core.

1. Attach the ribbon to the take up core. Use the adhesive strip on new rolls; otherwise, use tape.

2. Turn the ribbon take-up gear counter-clockwise (top moves toward rear) to remove slack from the ribbon.

3. Close the top cover. Remember that you need to release the cover lock, lower the top cover, and press down until the latches snap into place.
