The cartridge housing has spaced ribbon guides to guide the tape or ribbon of the sub cartridge from the supply reel to the take up reel of the sub cartridge. The cartridge housing has a sufficient opening between the housing and sub cartridge to enable an intermediate portion of the tape to be looped about the housing guides after the sub cartridge is mounted to the housing, with ends of the tape remaining attached to the reels within the confines of the panel. A spring urged member urges the take up reel of the sub cartridge and drive member of the housing together. A release lever on the housing releasably holds the sub cartridge take up reel and drive member apart.
