Installation of Ink Ribbon
(1) Turn the power off and remove the printer cover.
(2) Slide the print head gently with your fingures to the approximate center
of its pathway.
(3) Begin by setting either ribbon spool securely on a ribbon spool axis.
Make sure you have the spool positioned so it will wind/unwind as shown
in the figures.
Place the spool securely on the axis, so that the "drive pins" engage
the spool.
