4. Important.....To make ribbon loading and unloading easier, make a
leader for your ribbon roll if it doesn’t already have one (refer to
Figure 2.3):
Tear off a strip of media (labels and backing) about 6 to 12 inches long from the roll.
Peel off a label from this strip. Remove the remaining labels. Apply half of this label
to the end of the strip and the other half to the end of the ribbon. This acts as a ribbon
leader.
5. Thread the leader and attached ribbon as shown in the illustration. Be care-
ful not to crease or wrinkle the ribbon.
6. Remove the Hook from the Ribbon Take-Up Spindle.
7. Place the leader under the long leg of the Hook and wind for several turns.
8. Close the printhead by moving the lever to the CLOSED position.
