5.Now thread the ribbon carefully between the print head and the ribbon guide next to the platen. (Take a good look at Figure l-7.) You might want to use a ball point pen to lightly press the ribbon guide against the platen (runbber roller) while you insert the ribbon into the thin space between the print head and ribbon guide. Zmporiant: Center the ribbon vertically in the middle of the print head to avoid misprints or the ribbon coming off during printing.

6.Turn the spool gear knob in the direction of the arrow printed on the top left side of the cartridge to take up the slack in the ribbon; continue turning the spool gear four or five times to verify that everything is properly set and ready to roll.

7.As a final step, replace the front cover. As you’ll learn in Chapter 2, SR-lo/15 refuses to print unless the front cover is securely in place! A glowing, “pause” lamp warns of a loose cover. When this occurs, do the obvious thing: fasten the cover securely, press the pause button to douse the green light, and you’re back in business!

Figure 1-7.Use a ball point pen to place the ribbon between the print head and the ribbon guide. It’s important that the ribbon is centered vertically between the print head and the ribbon guide.
