Configuration and Calibration

Selecting the Ribbon Low Feature

When the Ribbon Low feature is enabled, the “Ribbon Low” output signal (Pin 9) on the applicator port is functional. When the amount of ribbon on the supply spindle reaches a specific low level, the output signal will assert HIGH to provide a “Ribbon Low” warning.

When the Ribbon Low feature is disabled, the output signal (Pin 9) will not function, the “Low Ribbon” warning is not displayed, and the printer will continue to print until it runs out of ribbon.
