When Worn Action - Printronix P9212 Setup Manual

When Worn Action

This parameter allows you to choose what the printer will do when the
ribbon life reaches 0%. The following options are available:
•
To Stop Printer (the default) causes the printer to stop printing at the
next top of page when Ribbon Life reaches 0%. Pressing ON LINE
allows the printer to print another page.
•
Aud/Vis Alarm causes the printer beeper to sound and the control panel
status lamps to flash alternately when Ribbon Life reaches 0%. The
printer will not stop printing.
•
Visual Alarm causes the control panel status lamps to flash alternately
when Ribbon Life reaches 0%. No audible alarm is sounded. The printer
will not stop printing.
The ribbon life will continue to decrease through negative values until –99%
is reached. It will remain at –99% until you change the ribbon.
In the following example, the When Worn Action parameter is changed from
stopping the printer to setting the visual alarm.
