SECTION 12 : Loading Ribbons
4. Checking the Remaining Ribbon Amount
When the P-55 is Ready as the LCD indicates, press the SELECT button as many times as necessary for "Ink Remain" to appear on the LCD, and then press the ENTER button.
The re-transfer ribbon's remaining amount is indicated on the upper line and the ink ribbon's remaining amount on the lower line, expressed as a percentage.
(The remaining ribbon amount shown on the LCD is not absolute but just a rough "barometer".)
*The P-55 displays the remaining ink level for the ink ribbon as “INK FF%” if no single print operation is performed after the P-55 is turned on.
Once a print operation is performed, the display changes to a numerical value “INK nn%” indicating an estimate of the remaining ink in the ribbon.
