Explanation
Status message indicating the
RibbonMinder feature is enabled
and the ribbon ink level is 2%.
Status message that displays
when ribbon reaches the end of its
service life, whether
RibbonMinder is enabled or not.
The ribbon sensor does not detect
the presence of the ribbon spool,
indicating a missing label or a
damaged sensor. (This fault
condition is entered into the
Ribbon Log as "Ribbon Not
Recognized.")
The sensor detects a bar code,
but it is not fully decoded. This
fault condition is entered into the
Error Log (not the Ribbon Log).
The sensor detects a ribbon that
was previously declared to be at
the end of its service life
(message 146 or 302).
