New Ribbon
This provides a means to manually set the printer when a new
ribbon has been installed. The ribbon life displayed on the control
panel (if active) sets to 100%. The count internal to the printer also
resets, and the tabulation towards end of ribbon life begins.
Ribbon Action
• Display. The factory default for this setting is the DISPLAY
mode. When DISPLAY is selected, the ribbon ink consumption
will continually display on the control panel, decrementing as
ink is consumed. When the ribbon life reaches 0%, the
message RIBBON INK OUT/CHANGE RIBBON displays on
the control panel, but the printer continues to accept new print
jobs. No other indication (no flashing light, or warning beep) is
given. Clear the display by replacing the ribbon when NEW
RIBBON DETECT is enabled.
