 “At what point is the ribbon low warning issued?”
Like the darkness set point, this is fully adjustable. The factory default is to declare Ribbon Low at 2% life remaining.
 “Can I program my printer to not stop if the end of ribbon life is reached?”
Yes. Under the Advanced User section of the printer menus, you can select an option to ignore the ribbon end point.
The ribbon life indication will continue to work, but no warnings will be issued and the printer will not stop once the
life reaches 0%. Responsibility for insuring the proper change interval reverts back to the user.
 “Can I track ribbon usage on the 6800 and 6600?”
Yes. The printer keeps track of the quantity and types of all ribbons used on the machine. This log can be checked at
any time, and viewed remotely via PrintNet Enterprise, to determine how fast and how many ribbons your operation
is consuming.
 “Can an estimate of the page vs character yield be provided?”
The page yield for the TG40M character cartridge is 13,8000 pages.
The page yield for the TG60M character cartridge is 20,700 pages.
The difficulty with character yield comparisons is that manufacturers use different tests, settings, applications and
environments to produce a character yield. There are no published comparisons of how one manufacturer derived a
character yield versus other manufacturers. Plus, there is no way to ensure validity of yield results and ensure apples
to apples comparisons against our character yield.
The 6800 and 6600 cartridge ribbons are rated in pages only. The page yield enables us to perform accurate
comparisons across our products as well as any competitor products.
