Ribbon End Point
This parameter adjusts the point at which the system will declare the ribbon as
being expended. The life count will always be from 100% to 0%, but if a darker
setting is selected 0% will be reached more quickly. If a lighter setting is selected,
the system will extend the time it takes to reach 0%. The range of values are as
follows:
v −4 (the default)
v Normal
v Darker +1 through Darker +6
v Lighter −1 through Lighter −10
Note: This value can be adjusted at any time and the display will automatically
adjust to show the correct percentage relative to the new end point.
Ribbon Action
v Stop Ribbon End (the default). Stops ribbon action when ribbon life reaches 0%.
v Ignore Ribbon End When selected, the ribbon life display remains on the
control panel, and the printer continues to monitor ink consumption.
