is
printed (See
pages

When

Once

no
longer
effective, to
manually
select pitch,
the printer

Warning:
The
"ribbon-out"
sensor switch
is
inactive
when
the
printer
is
off-line in a
self-
test
mode.
Thus,
if
the
ribbon should run out while the
printer
is
in this
mode,
the
rib-
bon
may
break.
If this
should happen,
turn off the printer
and
carefully
replace the
cartridge.
Notes
regarding ribbon out
error condition
When
the
printer
is
in a
normal
printing
mode,
if
the
ribbon runs
out,
the
print
head
will
stop.
With
a
model
I
system,
replace the ribbon, close the
cover
and
the
printer
will
resume
printing
without
loss
or insertion
of
data.
With
a
model
II
system,
you
will
have
to
type
continue
(after
replacing the
ribbon)
and
then
the
printer
will
continue
printing
from
the
stopped
head
position.
However, you
should be aware
that
the entire current
line will
be
restarted
from
this
location,
therefore there
may
be
some
printing duplication
at this
stopped
line.
