SECTION 15: Loading Ribbons

4) Place the transfer ribbon with the supply shaft
on the left and the take-up 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
transfer ribbon cartridge.
7) Turn the take-up shaft clockwise to take up
ribbon slack.
If you perform the next step without taking up ribbon slack, there is a chance that the ribbon
might be broken.
8) Mount the transfer 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.
