Detecting Supplies at Print Time Function (continued)

Step Procedure

3When the Supplies checkbox is checked, the following takes place:

Ribbon and Film Type dropdown boxes are inactive and populated with values of installed supplies. Dual Sided and Options are set to defaults for detected supplies.

For example, no Dual Side options are available when no Flipper is installed. This function provides automatic detection of an installed feature whether it is automatically detecting supplies or not.

Before the Driver initiates each job, it retrieves the consumables values from the Firmware.

If no Printer is found or no Ribbon is installed, the checkbox is allowed to be checked. (Note: The previously-chosen Ribbon and Film values will remain. You will see an error message.)

Activating the Device Options tab automatically repopulates the Ribbon and Film types. (Note: You will see an error message if no Printer found when activating the Device Options tab.)
