Swapping Ribbons During Printing - Brady POWERMark User Manual

Swapping ribbons during printing

When you compose your label and choose print, the system analyzes the job and
determines what ribbons are needed to print the label. This process applies to both paneled
ribbons and continuous color monochrome ribbons.
During the print process, if substitution is necessary, the system prompts you to install specific
ribbon colors. For example:
Install ribbon color:
Then press Enter to continue or to use a different
color, or Escape to quit.
You change the ribbon as specified, then press Enter to continue your print job. The
system checks to see if the new ribbon is installed, and then checks to make sure the new
ribbon is appropriate for the print job. If there are any problems with the installed ribbon,
the system prompts you for corrections or for substitutions, where appropriate.
For example, if your currently installed ribbon is a continuous color monochrome black
ribbon and you are starting a multi-color print job, you'll see this message:
Current ribbon color:
For this multi-color job, load this ribbon last. To continue, load
another required ribbon, then press any key.
This is because the system knows that for best print quality, black should be the final color
printed.
You can override these system messages simply by not changing the ribbon, then
continuing the print job.
