ribbon tension knob clockwise.
CAUTION
Do not turn the ribbon tension knob counterclockwise. This
could damage the ribbon cartridge.

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 2).
