This feature provides the ability to control the usage level of the ribbon and helps prevent inadvertent usage past its functional life. The printer displays a "Check" or "Replace" message on the keypad at user designated limits. If the ribbon reaches the end of it's life, the printer will stop printing and indicates the ribbon must be replaced. By adjusting the check and replace limits, the operator can be prompted to replace the ribbon at a usage level best suited for that specific application.
As the printer operates, the Ribbon Life Monitor maintains a running total of the number of dots which have been printed since the feature was last reset. The ribbon usage value is determined by dividing the total number of dots printed by the ribbon life limit.
Open top access cover to replace the ribbon cartridge. At this point the message on the keypad display will change to: Cover Open When the top access cover is closed the keypad display will change to: Ribbon Replaced? Y = Profile N = Onln This message will be displayed whenever the top access cover is opened and then closed. Pressing the Profile key (Y) in response to this message will cause the printer to reset the ribbon usage feature to 0%, reset the, carriage, and resume operation.
