Changing a
Fabric
Ribbon
Your fabric ribbon
will
provide longest
life
if
the
position
of
the
Left
Ribbon
Lever
is
changed
frequently.
This
will
allow the ribbon
to
re-ink
itself
during
these
changes.
The
first
setting,
on
the
right,
is
used
for
typing
stencils.
Settings
two,
three and four
move
the
typing
line
to
the
top,
middle
or
bottom
portions
of
the
ribbon.
If
you
wish
to
reverse
the direction
in
which
the ribbon
is
winding,
move
the Ribbon

is
done
automatically
when
either side
of
the
cartridge
becomes
empty.

prevent
drying
out, keep
ribbons
in
containers
until

to
