8.7 Ribbon Saving
Ribbon save = maximum utilisation of transfer ribbon
In principle the ribbon save is achieved by the way that the transfer
ribbon in phases in those no printing is effected stopped or
decelerated. If sufficient time is available, the transfer ribbon which
was not used for printing can be retracted to print on it afterwards.
The possibilities of ribbon save and in this way of the print quality are
to be connected with the available time which is needed for
decelerating and accelerating of transfer ribbon.
The above example clearly illustrates that the transfer ribbon
consumption is much lower when using the ribbon save mode
'Standard'.
In the ribbon save mode 'Off', the printhead is not moved up, i.e. no
reduction of transfer ribbon is effected.
