Figure 8. Removing Used Ribbon

Ribbon Removal

1.Break the ribbon as close to the Ribbon Take-Up Spindle as possible.

2.Refer to Figure 8. While holding the Ribbon Take-Up Spindle, turn the knob (1) clockwise until it stops. This will cause the Ribbon Release Bars to pivot down (2), easing the spindle’s “grip” on the wound rib- bon.

3.Slide the ribbon off of the Ribbon Take-Up Spindle. Once the used rib- bon has been removed, ensure that the arrow on the knob aligns with the indented notch in the Ribbon Take-Up Spindle (see inset).

4.Remove the empty core from the Ribbon Supply Spindle.

5.Follow the Ribbon Loading procedure on page 18 to load the new ribbon.
