Take the new ribbon and holder out of the wrapper,
remove the adhesive tape on the joint on the holder,
and place it into the cassette as shown in Figure 8-2.
Pull sufficient ribbon out of the holder, and thread it as
shown in Figure 8-3. Be careful that the half-twist in
the ribbon is positioned in the right-hand section of the
ribbon cartridge, between the two guide posts. Make
sure that no twists occur anywhere else.
Again press on the idler gear holder and thread the rib-
bon between both gears.
Remove the top and bottom of the ribbon holder, and
replace the cartridge top cover. Snap all tabs back into
place.
When you’ve completed the installation, remount the
cartridge to the printer. Notice that you should replace
the whole cartridge after replacing the ribbon five
times.
