Ribbon Size

The standard ribbon size is 60 yards for the pedestal model and
100 yards for the cabinet model. These are the factory default
settings. You can use the Ribbon Size option to specify the ribbon
length in one-yard increments, with a maximum of 255 yards.

Ribbon Adjust

Adjust 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 follow the "Replacing the Ribbon" procedure on
page 72. 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.
