[GreenKeys] AS3 43 throwing off its ribbon

[Michael Zahorik]

Gab, you and I are using the same ribbon. My 43 does not have the trouble you mention. It has printed many pages with no trouble. I was wondering if you have the ribbon laced through correctly? Here are a couple pictures of mine.

A fellow Greenkeyer kindly made the ribbon for me
as they are exceedingly hard to find now. I don't
think I've the option of trying another ribbon.
The tensioning capstan is not at either end of
its travel, so I'd have thought that it would take
up any slight overlength/underlength problem.
