Hint

#5:

The eyelet grommet (which signals

Gemini

 

 

to automatically

reverse

 

the

ribbon

 

 

direction) should be placed on the ribbon-

d

 

spool side of the changeover lever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hint

#6:

Set the other ribbon

spool on the opposite

 

 

spool axle, making sure the “drivepins” are

 

 

engaged.

 

 

 

 

 

Hint

#7:

When

the

ribbon

threading

has been

 

 

accomplished, turn the ink ribbon spools

 

 

by hand,

approximately

four or five

 

 

rotations of the spools. This verifies that

 

 

everything was done properly and that the

 

 

ribbon

is smoothly

fed.

 

 

 

Hint #8: As shown in Figure 2-19, you can turn the ribbon over and use the other side when it starts wearing out.
