4) Place the ink ribbon with the take-up shaft on
the left and the supply shaft on the right, and
their protrusions facing you and their openings
facing away from you.
5) Insert the open end of the take-up shaft into the
hole provided in the cartridge (for ease of work,
we recommend holding the shaft by inserting
your index finger into its open end), and snap
the protrusion at the other end of the shaft into
the cut-off in the cartridge.
6) In a similar way, put the supply shaft into the ink
ribbon cartridge.
7) Turn the take-up shaft clockwise to take up
ribbon slack.
*You may see some dust on the cartridge guide roller or guide plate when replacing an ink ribbon. See

for details.
If you perform the next step without taking up ribbon slack, there is a chance that the ribbon
might be broken.
8) Mount the ink ribbon cartridge in the P-55 unit.
When mounting the ribbon cartridge, push it
directly and slowly. If you try to force it in
slantwise, there is a chance that the ribbon
might be broken. If the ribbon clogs
somewhere, take out the cartridge, take up
ribbon slack again, and slowly re-insert the
cartridge.
