5.
Guide
the
pinch
roller
back
into
its
operating
position
against
the
drive
roller.
6.
Use
the

(or

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

until
it
(not
the

is
between
the

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.

provided
with
the
system.
The
cables
are
the
same
type
and
can
be
used
on
either
port
on
the

1.
Connect
one
of
the
serial
cables

of
your
PC.
TaskLink
uses
COM1
as
the
default
programmer
port.
Note:
If
your
PC
has
a
9-pin

Connect
one
end
of
the

not
use
any
other
COM
ports
other
than
1
and
2.
If
you
plan
to
use
a
mouse
with
TaskLink,
it
must
be
a
bus
mouse;
or
you
can
set
a
COM
port
to
3
or
4
and
use
an
interrupt
other
than
IRQ
3
or
4.
4.
Connect
the
other
end
of
this
COM2
cable
to
the
connector
labeled
Remote
RS-232
on
the

When
you
run
TaskLink,
the
software
configures
the
COM1
and
COM2
ports
on
your
PC
to
match
the
defaults
used
by
TaskLink.
The
