ribbon will be centered when it is fitted. When changing from a narrow width to a wider one rotate the ribbon stoppers by 90°, push them back to the correct position and then rotate back to lock.

NOTE: When attaching the ribbon stoppers, fit them to the shafts with the pinchers facing into the printer.
