1. Ribbon Loading Bail in up (open) position.
2. Ribbon Support Brackets.
Unpack the ribbon from its shipping container and remove the retainer from the slot on top of
the cartridge if present. Make sure the ribbon fabric is not twisted where it enters the
cartridge; then tighten the ribbon by turning the knob on top of the cartridge in the direction
indicated by the arrow on the cartridge.
Place the right end of the ribbon on the support bracket while you align the plastic tabs with
the slots in the bracket as shown on the next page. Then align and lower the left end of the
ribbon onto the left support bracket until it snaps into place. While doing so, the ribbon
fabric should lower into the area between the print head and the pins which support the metal
nose shield.
