Refer to Figure 25.

1. Break the ribbon as close to the ribbon take-up spindle as possible.

2. While holding the ribbon take-up spindle, turn the knob (1) clockwise

until it stops. This causes the ribbon release bars to pivot down (2),
easing the spindle’s “grip” on the wound ribbon.

3. Slide the ribbon off of the ribbon take-up spindle. Once the spent

ribbon has been removed, ensure that the arrow on the knob aligns
with the indented notch in the ribbon take-up spindle (see Figure 25
inset).

4. Remove the core from the ribbon supply spindle.

5. Follow the ribbon loading procedure on page 38 to load the new

ribbon.
