5. Remove the ribbon slack on the new ribbon cartridge by turning the
ribbon tension knob clockwise.
CAUTION
Do not turn the ribbon tension knob counterclockwise. This could
damage the ribbon cartridge.
6. Hold the cartridge at an angle, so that the rear side nearest you is lower
than the side with the ribbon. Find the two tabs on the outside of the
cartridge and place them into the corresponding slots on the air shroud
assembly (see Figure 22).
