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

automatically engage the ribbon core notches.
