Ribbon End Point
This parameter adjusts the point at which the system will declare
the ribbon as being expended. The life count will always be from
100% to 0%, but if a darker setting is selected 0% will be reached
more quickly. If a lighter setting is selected, the system will extend
the time it takes to reach 0%. The range of values are as follows:
•Normal (default)
•Darker +1 through Darker +6
•Lighter -1 through Lighter -10
NOTE: This value can be adjusted at any time and the display will
automatically adjust to show the correct percentage
relative to the new end point.
Eject Function
Enables and defines the eject function to be used. When activated,
the function is used by holding down the VIEW/EJECT key for more
than one second in offline mode.
•Standard (default). Slews the paper two 11” pages when
VIEW/EJECT is pressed for more than one second. Pressing
VIEW/EJECT a second time retracts two pages.
•Simple Tear. Allows demand printing for specially designed
forms which require a header of at least 2.66 inches in height.
This leader prevents the paper from falling out of the tractors
when the demanded sheet is removed.
Press the VIEW/EJECT key. The printer slews the bottom of
the last printed form to the tear position. Tear the paper, then
press the VIEW/EJECT button again. The paper reverses the
exact amount of paper it slewed, placing the print position to
the next available page. See “Demand Printing” on page 329
for detailed information on Simple Tear.
