5.
Guide
the
pinch
roller
back
into
its
operating
position
against
the
drive
roller.
6.
Use
the
tape
supplied
on
the
end
of
the
leader
(or
a
DIP
label)
to
attach
the
leader
to
the
take-up
cardboard
core.
7.
When
you
install
a
new
ribbon,
remove
the
old
ribbon's
cardboard
core
and
install
it
on
the
take-up
hub
as
the
new
ribbon
take-up
core.
8.
Turn
the
ribbon
take-up
roll
counterclockwise
to
advance
the
ribbon
until
it
(not
the
leader)
is
between
the
print
head
and
the
platen.
Repairing
a
Torn
Ribbon
Under
normal
circumstances
you
should
not
have
a
problem
with
the
ribbon
tearing.
If
it
does
tear,
follow
the
procedure
below
to
repair
it.
1.
2.
Cut
the
end
of
the
ribbon
to
remove
the
tear
and
create
a
straight
end.
Cut
about
16
inches
(40
cm)
of
old
label
liner
(hanging
from
the
label
drive
roller)
to
use
as
ribbon
leader.
3.
Line
up
the
end
of
the
ribbon
with
the
end
of
the
liner
and
tape
the
two
ends
together
(a
DIP
label
can
also
be
used
as
a
tape
splice).
4.
5.
Turn
the
splice
over
and
tape
the
other
side.
Wrap
the
liner
around
the
ribbon
roll
once,
and
then
follow
the
instructions
for
installing
a
new
ribbon.
If
the
ribbon
begins
to
slide
off
the
roll
while
you
are
threading,
place
a
large
label
across
the
edge
of
the
ribbon
roll
to
stop
the
unraveling.
Remove
this
label
when
you
have
finished
threading
and
before
you
start
processing
devices.
Connecting
the
PC
and
Installing
TaskLink
Before
you
start
creating
Tasks
using
TaskLink,
you
will
need
to:
1.
Connect
the
RS-
232c
cables
between
the
PC
and
the
2500.
2.
Install
TaskLink
on
the
PC.
3.
Start
the
program.
Connecting
the
PC
Connect
the
2500
to
the
two
PC
COM
ports
using
the
cables
provided
with
the
system.
The
cables
are
the
same
type
and
can
be
used
on
either
port
on
the
2500.
1.
Connect
one
of
the
serial
cables
to
the
COM1
serial
port
on
the
back
of
your
PC.
TaskLink
uses
COM1
as
the
default
programmer
port.
Note:
If
your
PC
has
a
9-pin
connector,
use
9-pin
adapter
included
with
the
system
to
connect
the
data
cable
to
your
PC.
2.
Connect
the
other
end
of
the
COM1
cable
to
the
connector
labeled
Programmer
Port
on
the
back
of
the
2500.
