NOTE: The ribbon supply spindle in your printer is a "dual tension" variety.
Most applications require the spindle to be in the "normal" position. The "low
tension" position is recommended only when wide ribbon is used and normal
tension hampers the ribbon movement.
To place this spindle in the "normal" position, firmly pull out the spindle end cap until
it clicks into place as shown in Figure 22. To place the spindle in the "low tension"
position, firmly push in the end cap until it clicks into place.

CAUTION: Always use ribbon that is wider than the media. The smooth
backing of the ribbon protects the printhead from wear. (For direct
thermal printing, do not load ribbon in the printer.)
Refer to Figure 23.
1. Press the printhead open lever. The printhead assembly springs up.
2. Push the ribbon roll completely onto the ribbon supply spindle.
3. Pull the end of the ribbon over the ribbon sensor, under the printhead assembly,
and out the front of the printer.
4. Close the printhead assembly, keeping the ribbon snug and free of wrinkles and in
line with the guide mark near the left edge of the ribbon guide plate.
5. Wind the ribbon clockwise onto the ribbon take-up spindle.
