How to install correction ribbon for lexmark IBM personal wheelwriter 2?

Answer 1

To assemble:

1) Hold the correction cartridge in your left hand and the ribbon cartridge in your right hand such that the mostly flat slick sides (bottom) of the cartridges are facing each other and the arms or pointed ends are facing up.

2) Look for the mounting tabs on the correction cartridge.

The mounting tabs will be near the pointed ends and on the bottom side of the cartridge.

3) Hold both cartridges so that you can put them together with the bottom sides facing one another.

4) Take the ribbon cartridges pointed ends and slide the two cartridges together by beginning with the pointed ends of the ribbon cartridge sliding across the bottom of the correction cartridge until the pointed ends of the ribbon cartridge slide into the slots on the correction cartridge and both pointed ends align with each other.

5) Press both cartridges together until you hear a light snap sound.

6) Wind the ribbon using the blue or orange gear (clockwise) on the right rear side of the ribbon cartridge until the ribbon appears all black between the arms.

7) Then wind the correction tape on the cartridges with the similar gear on its cartridge clockwise until the clear correction tape appears.

8) Place into typewriter and you are ready to type.

To Remove one from the other:

Notice that there is a small latch that will release the two cartridges from one another that is on the ribbon cartridge. It is located in between the two pointed arms on the main body of the ribbon cartridge. Press it and slightly pull the cartridges apart and slide the correction cartridge off.
