Do not remove the blue gear.

Slide the white elastic off the new refill rolls and set them down with the full roll in the lower position. (The ribbon's shiny side is facing down.)

Remove the white spools from the ends of the used cardboard cores. Then insert them into the same positions in the new cores.
