Appendix 2 | DIP Switches |
This section gives you additional information regarding ribbon near end detection.
∙The printer detects that the ribbon is about to run out, when 10 + 7m of ribbon is remaining.
∙When the ribbon is about to run out, the ERROR LED flashes. When replacing the ribbon, the printer resumes printing. Then the ERROR LED is turned off. When replacing one ribbon, if there is another ribbon that is about to run out, the ERROR LED remains flashing.
∙Switches in DIP Switch A can be changed to specify how the printer operates when the ribbon is about to run out.
1When detecting that the ribbon is about to run out, the ERROR LED flashes, and the printer stops printing temporarily, as if the PAUSE key were pressed. Press the RESTART key to resume printing.
2When detecting that the ribbon is about to run out, the ERROR LED flashes. However the printer does not stop printing until the ribbon runs out completely or finishes the print job.
∙While the ERROR LED is indicating that one ribbon is about to run out, the printer does not detect that another ribbon is almost running out.
∙When using Ribbon Save Mode, the printer cannot detect that the ribbon is about to run out, unless the ribbon advances over 50mm.
