Changing Ribbons
Changing Ribbons
Before changing the ribbon, determine whether you want to make the print lighter (extend the ribbon life) or darker (shorten the ribbon life). If you want to make the print lighter, go to “Ribbon End Point” on page 277 and follow the procedures for adjusting the image density. If you are satisfied with the print darkness, or if you want to increase the darkness at the end of ribbon life, continue with the following steps.
