Running a Job

The RibbonMinder function works without attention once it has been initially set up for a job.
To do this, perform the following instructions and refer to the diagram at the end of this chap
ter.
1. Replace Ribbon if Worn
Install a new ribbon if the ribbon life is 0% or negative, or if the RibbonMinder function
has been disabled.
2. Unlock the Control Panel
If not at the OFFLINE READY prompt, press CLEAR FAULT until OFFLINE READY
appears. Unlock the printer configuration by simultaneously pressing CONFIG MENU
and RUN/STOP, until the CONFIGURATION UNLOCKED prompt appears briefly in
the display.
3. Enable the RibbonMinder Monitor Feature
From the OFFLINE READY display, enter the ENABLE/DISABLE submenu by con
secutively pressing CONFIG MENU, CONFIG VALUE, and CONFIG MENU repeat
edly until ENABLE/DISABLE appears on the display. Press CONFIG VALUE twice to
display ENABLE ACTION. Each time you press CONFIG VALUE at this level, the func
tion will switch between ENABLED and DISABLED. Press RUN/STOP. If the asterisk
does not appear, refer to the Application Hints section.
4. Enter the SET JOB RATE
Press CLEAR FAULT and then CONFIG MENU repeatedly until SET JOB RATE ap
pears on the display. Press CONFIG VALUE to display the current job rate. The display
message will now show the value last selected.
5. Select New JOB RATE
Select the appropriate JOB RATE by pressing CONFIG VALUE until the correct JOB
RATE appears in the display. This JOB RATE is obtained by analyzing the job. Press
RUN/STOP to enter this JOB RATE. If the NEW RATE value displayed is larger than
desired, the display will decrement the NEW RATE by simultaneously pressing CONFIG
VALUE and CONFIG MENU. Press and hold to quickly advance the count. An asterisk
next to the selection indicates that it has been entered. If an asterisk does not appear, re
fer to the Application Hints section.
