Adjusting the Ribbon

Setting the Ribbon (p.26)

Ribbon tension in this printer is already adjusted for the recommended ink

 

ribbon and media and is very tolerant to different types of media. However, it

 

may slip due to imperfect combinations of ribbon and media and it is possible

 

that you will see a “Ribbon End” message even though the ribbon is not

 

finished. This is more likely to happen with narrow width ribbons, especially

 

those less than 50mm (2 inches).

 

 

To resolve this problem and obtain the optimum printing condition, make

 

adjustments in the following manner (this should be done after the printhead

 

pressure adjustments on the previous page are made):
