New Ribbon

This provides a means to manually set the printer when a new ribbon has been installed. The ribbon life displayed on the control panel (if active) is set to 100%. The count internal to the printer will also be reset, and the tabulation towards end of ribbon life will begin.

Ribbon Action

•Display. The factory default for this setting is the DISPLAY mode. When DISPLAY is selected, the ribbon ink consumption will continually display on the control panel, decrementing as ink is consumed. When the ribbon life reaches 0%, the message RIBBON INK OUT / CHANGE RIBBON displays on the control panel. The printer will continue to accept new print jobs. No other indication (no flashing light, or warning beep) is given. The display can be cleared by replacing the ribbon when NEW RIBBON DETECT is enabled.
