installed, the printer still assumes that there is a color ribbon installed. Therefore, the monochrome ribbon is advanced in order for the printer to verify that it is not printing on a yellow panel. In this configuration, the printer always assumes that a color ribbon is installed, even when printing monochrome information.

3.In configuration #2, when color page

information is sent to the printer it will print normally. When monochrome page information is sent to the printer, the printer will not move the ribbon before printing, even if a color ribbon is installed. In this configuration, the printer always assumes that a monochrome ribbon is installed when printing monochrome information. If you often switch back and forth between color and monochrome ribbons, be sure that switch #1 is in the ÒdownÓ or ÒonÓ position. This will save monochrome ribbon when printing monochrome information.
