If the ribbon tends to slide outward, turn the screw clockwise

You can use the quick-load guides to help load media from behind
the print mechanism and guide media from an external supply.
The quick-load guides are designed for media that is 40 to 60 mm
(1.57 to 2.36 in) wide.
Note: Quick-load guides cannot be used for peel-off printing.
