Changing Ribbons

Before changing the ribbon, determine whether you want to make
the print lighter (extend the ribbon life) or darker (shorten the ribbon
life). If you want to make the print lighter, go to "Ribbon End Point"
on page 277 and follow the procedures for adjusting the image
density. If you are satisfied with the print darkness, or if you want to
increase the darkness at the end of ribbon life, continue with the
following steps.
