You might want to use a ball point pen to lightly
press the ribbon guide against the platen (rubber roller) while
you insert the ribbon into the thin space between the print head
and ribbon guide. Important: Center the ribbon vertically in the
middle of the print head to avoid misprints or the ribbon com-
ing off during printing.
6. Turn the spool gear knob in the direction of the arrow printed
on the top left side of the cartridge to take up the slack in the
ribbon; continue turning the spool gear four or five times to
verify that everything is properly set and ready to roll.
7. As a final step, replace the front cover. As you'll learn in Chap-
ter 1, Radix refuses to print unless the front cover is securely in
place! A glowing "pause" lamp warns of a loose cover. When
this occurs, do the obvious thing: fasten the cover securely,
press the pause button to douse the green light, and you're back
in business!
