The eyelet grommet (which signals Gemini
to automatically reverse the ribbon
direction) should be placed on the ribbon-
spool side of the changeover lever.
Set the other ribbon spool on the opposite
spool axle, making sure the "drive pins" are
engaged.
When the ribbon threading has been
accomplished, turn the ink ribbon spools
by hand, approximately four or five
rotations of the spools. This verifies that
everything was done properly and that the
ribbon is smoothly fed.
As shown in Figure 2-19, you can turn the
ribbon over and use the other side when it
starts wearing out.

Turning the ribbon over gives you the same effect as
having a new ribbon but at no extra cost.
