Zusammenfassung: | A ribbon (42) loading system for a printer utilizes a ribbon cartridge (10) that includes a container (12) enclosing two coaxially arranged ribbon reels (40, 44). By providing flexible blades (82) in the floor (16) of the container, the reels (40, 44) are urged toward a top cover (22) where relative movement is restrained. Upon loading of the cartridge (10), camming arms (226) enter apertures in the container (12) and are moveable to a clamping position to draw the blades (82) from the ribbon reels (40, 44) and allow free rotational movement of a latter. The structure including the camming arms (226) is coupled through linkages to clear the ribbon threading path and thereby facilitate ribbon (42) insertion. |
