black Ribbon Drive Hubs located on the far right-hand side of the printers
interior. Make certain that the ribbon is fed from underneath the ribbon roll.

from the front, is spring loaded. Use the end of the ribbon supply core to push
in this Ribbon Drive Hub when inserting the ribbon.

Hubs located about six inches (152mm) to the left of the ribbon supply Ribbon
Drive Hubs. Load the ribbon take-up end of the ribbon just as you loaded the
ribbon supply end in step 4. When loaded properly, the ribbon should feed
underneath both ends of the ribbon roll.
6. Close the cover. When you start to print, the Ribbon Drive Hubs will
automatically engage the ribbon core notches.
