Refer to Figure 10. 1. Turn the knob at the end of the ribbon take-up spindle (1) clockwise until it stops. This causes the ribbon release bars to pivot down (2), easing the spindle�s �grip� on the wound ribbon. 2. Slide the ribbon off of the ribbon take-up spindle. Once the used ribbon has been removed, ensure that the arrow on the knob aligns with the indented notch in the ribbon take-up spindle (see inset). 3. Remove the empty core from the ribbon supply spindle. 4. Follow the ribbon loading procedure on page 14 to load the new ribbon.
