core and the other is inserted the ribbon takeup core. Wind the ribbon from the takeup mandrel
until most wrinkles are no longer visible.

The following procedure may help in loading the ribbon. First insert the mandrels into the supply and
takeup ribbon cores, affix a small piece of adhesive tape at the end of the ribbon and then wind the
ribbon around the takeup mandrel until the tape is hidden. Finally, install the ribbon by passing it
through the lower side of the printhead assembly.

Be sure to wind the ribbon sufficiently over the adhesive clear tape fastened to the end of the
ribbon.
