Teac P-55 instruction manual Loading Ribbons

SECTION 12 : Loading Ribbons

4) Place the ink ribbon with the take-up shaft on the left and the supply shaft on the right, and their protrusions facing you and their openings facing away from you.

5) Insert the open end of the take-up shaft into the hole provided in the cartridge (for ease of work, we recommend holding the shaft by inserting your index finger into its open end), and snap the protrusion at the other end of the shaft into the cut-off in the cartridge.

6) In a similar way, put the supply shaft into the ink ribbon cartridge.

7) Turn the take-up shaft clockwise to take up ribbon slack.

*You may see some dust on the cartridge guide roller or guide plate when replacing ink ribbons. See 3. of SECTION 16 : Maintenance for details.

NOTE

If you perform the next step without taking up ribbon slack, there is a chance that the ribbon might be broken.

8) Mount the ink ribbon cartridge in the P-55 itself.

When mounting the ribbon cartridge, push it directly and slowly. If you try to force it in slantwise, there is a chance that the ribbon might be broken. If the ribbon clogs somewhere, take out the cartridge, take up ribbon slack again, and slowly re-insert the cartridge.
