The ribbon deck contains the drive mechanism for the ribbon cartridge.
The locking lever is used to open (LOAD position) and close (RUN
position) the ribbon drive gears.
The ribbon fabric in the cartridge is placed between the drive gears of the
deck as the cartridge is lowered onto the deck. When the locking lever is
moved to the RUN position, the drive gears move together to grip the
fabric.
After the ribbon cartridge is in place and the locking lever has been
turned to the RUN position, manually turning the black ribbon drive
knob clockwise advances the ribbon fabric.
