Rotate the core a couple of times while holding the boss stationary to take up take up slack. Refer to Figure 3-5 for

NOTE: Properly installed ribbon stock will be oriented so that its dull,
ink side is facing the printer chassis while the ribbon is dispensed and
taken up on the right side of each roll. The non-ink side of the ribbon
stock is the shinier of the two surfaces.
