Ribbon winding selection switch
This switch allows selection of inside-wound ribbons (also known as "ink
in") and outside wound ribbons ("ink out"). Remember, the inked surface
should be facing AWAY from the printhead surface!
Citizen Hint:
To test which surface of the ribbon has ink on it, gently
stick a small piece of adhesive label to the surface of the ribbon.
When you remove the label, you should see ink on the adhesive label - if the
label was touching the inked surface.
