Removing Used Ribbon the Wraptor/A6500 Ribbon Take Up Spool

1. Cut the ribbon between the guide bar and take-up spool.

2. Hold the edge of the take-up spool while turning the knob clockwise until it stops.

3. Pull the take-up spool knob to remove the used ribbon from the take-up spool and discard.

4. Re-engage the take-up spool by pushing it in all the way until the knob autorotates back to its original position.

   • Failure to re-engage the take-up spool will make it difficult to remove the old ribbon next time!

5. Remove remaining ribbon, if any, from the feed spool.

6. Use tape to secure the end of the ribbon roll.
