reel onto the shorter spool.
7. Twist the ribbon roll back and forth as you firmly push it
down until it is seated on the spool.
Do not force the ribbon roll down onto the spool; you could
damage the foam washer. Also, make sure the preprinted side
of the ribbon faces out. Make sure the latches are still in the
unlocked position ( ) before fitting the two halves of the
cassette together.
8. Replace the other half of the cassette. The two halves
should fit together completely.
9. Rotate the latches until they click into the locked
position ( ).
10. Check to make sure that the ribbon is loaded correctly and
that the ribbon is wound tightly inside the cassette. Turn
the gear counterclockwise with your fingers until the black
portion of the ribbon is exposed.
11. If the ribbon does not advance, or if it is hard to turn the
gear, repeat the loading procedure.
