Detecting Supplies at Print Time Function

Step Procedure

1Use the Supplies checkbox for auto detection of the consumables, which are the Ribbon, Film and Laminate. See below.

•In the Firmware, the values (representing the installed Ribbon, installed Transfer Film and installed Laminate) are updated on initialization (including each time the cover is closed).

•The Firmware compares the Ribbon, Film and Laminate values in the PRN file to the values (it holds regarding the currently installed consumables).

If the values do not match, the LCD displays Wrong Ribbon Error, Wrong Film Error, or Lam1 or 2 Wrong Film Error and the Driver returns the corresponding error message. See below.

2The following information applies to the Supplies checkbox.

•Laminator (installed): The Driver automatically detects the installed Ribbon, Film and Laminate for every print job.

•No Laminator (installed): The Driver automatically detects the installed Ribbon and Film for every print job.
