2 Turn the knob on the cassette in the arrow-indicated direction to make the ribbon taut.

To insert the ribbon cassette inside the unit, lift the panel house away from you first. Then thread the ribbon between the ribbon mask and the print head. Slide the latch on the lower side of the cassette into projections on the unit. Then let the cassette snap into place.

When having difficulty inserting the ribbon, insert it while turning the knob.

Make sure that the ribbon is placed between the print head and the ribbon mask as illustrated in the figure at left.
