Flush Fit-No Gap
Untwist it as much as possible. There is a resident half-twist in the ribbon
that may end up between the ribbon guide and one end of the cartridge.
The ribbon will still work like this, but will not work if the half-twist is on
the ribbon guide itself. Turn the ribbon advance knob to tighten the
ribbon fabric.
Printer Ribbon
The ribbon guide fits snugly between the exit rollers. Center the ribbon
guide over the print nozzle. Start with the front end of the ribbon guide
pointing slightly up and then rotate it down onto the print head nozzle. It
should snap down into place with moderate pressure.
