the ribbon take-up spindle. Attach the ribbon to the fiberboard core on the
ribbon take-up spindle with tape.
When installing a new roll of ribbon, attach the ribbon leader adhesive
strip to the ribbon take-up core. Manually rotate the spindle clockwise to
feed the unusable portion of the ribbon leader around the take-up spindle.

installed. Proper ribbon tension and ribbon removal is based on the use
of a fiberboard core.
