12. Hold the ribbon cartridge over the ribbon deck at an angle that
matches the tilt of the ribbon deck as described below:
•
Facing the front of the printer, hold the ribbon cartridge so the
body of the cartridge is parallel to the floor. Tilt the ribbon
cartridge down so that the angle of the cartridge (front to back)
matches the angle of the ribbon deck.
•
Lower the ribbon cartridge onto the ribbon deck so that the drive
gears on the deck enter the opening on the bottom of the
cartridge.
•
Look into the window of the ribbon cartridge and make sure the
ribbon fabric is not twisted, or folded, between the ribbon deck
drive gears.
