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
Iibbon drtve gears.
The Iibbon fabrtc in the cartridge is placed between the drive gears of the
deck as the cartrtdge is lowered onto the deck. When the locking lever is
moved to the RUN position, the drtve gears move together to grip the fabric.
