Ribbon Size
The standard ribbon size is 60 yards. You can use the Ribbon Size option to
specify the ribbon length in one-yard increments, with a maximum of 255
yards.
Ribbon Adjust
Adjusts the number of pages printed before the display reaches 0%. If the
ribbon normally prints 1000 pages before reaching 0%, configuring the
Ribbon Adjust to 20% will print 200 more pages than normal before reaching
0%. A Ribbon Adjust setting of -20% will cause the display to reach 0% after
200 fewer pages than normal. The setting can range from -99% through 99%.
Fault Action
• New Ribbon. Changing the ribbon while in the RIBBON INK OUT /
CHANGE RIBBON fault mode will reset the ribbon life to 100%, just as if
the New Ribbon menu option was executed.
• Do Nothing. The ribbon life may only be reset through the New Ribbon
menu option.
RibbonMinder Fault
When the RIBBON INK OUT / CHANGE RIBBON fault message appears on
the LCD, press the CLEAR key to remove the fault message, then replace the
ribbon (see your
Quick Reference Guide
). If you need to complete a current
print job before replacing the ribbon, press ON LINE. This allows the printer to
continue printing for an additional two minutes. After the two-minute period
has elapsed, the fault will reoccur if the Ribbon Action parameter remains set
on Fault. If Ribbon Action is changed to Disable or Display within the two-
minute period, the fault will not recur; disable RibbonMinder if you do not want
to change the ribbon at this time. The fault message will reappear once the
function is enabled again, and the printer status indicator will flash until the
ribbon is changed.
