Geminl User’s Manual
LOADING THE RIBBON
You already know that your Gemini printer is one of the best buys
. available today in terms of what you get for your initial investment. What’s more, Gemini’s sensible ribbon requirements are even more economical as time passes.
That’s because Gemini uses ordinary typewriter ribbons on spools. When the ribbon has gone from one spool to the other, Gemini automatically reverses the ribbon direction.
After the ribbon starts wearing out (when your printed material starts getting too light), you can invert the ribbon and start over.
Replacing the ribbon (which you’ll have to do eventually) is easy and inexpensive.
