The available tensions are either high or low. High tension engages both segments of the ribbon supply spindle, while low tension engages only the innermost segment. An easy way to determine which tension you need is to use your ribbon as a guide. 1. Which tension do you want? If Your ribbon is wide and covers or touches both spindle segments Your ribbon is narrow and only covers or touches the innermost spindle segment Then Use high tension. Pull the outermost black plastic spindle segment out and away from the mainframe. Use low tension. Push the outermost black plastic spindle segment in toward the mainframe. 05/02/ L-001 Rev. A
