The Ribbon Sensor parameter is read-only. When performing a
Testfeed or when pressing the Enter key when the Ribbon Sensor
menu is displayed, the printer will feed out some media and
autoadjust the sensor. The resulting setting is displayed in the
menu.
The Low Diameter parameter specifies the diameter of the
ribbon supply roll, where SYSVAR(26) switches from 0 to 1.
SYSVAR(26) = 0 means that there is still a sufficient supply of
ribbon, whereas SYSVAR(26) = 1 means that it is time to
consider replacing the ribbon supply. The diameter is expressed
in millimeters (1 mm = 0.04 in.) and an accuracy of ±3 mm can
be expected. Note that this setting has little effect unless
SYSVAR(26) is read by a Fingerprint program. However, Error
1083 "Ribbon Low" is reported at every tenth printing
operation. By default, the low diameter is 0, that is, the ribbon
low function is disabled.

Contrast

Use the contrast parameter to make minor adjustments of the
blackness in the printout, for example to adapt the printer to
variations in quality between different batches of the same media.
11 options are displayed in an endless loop from -10% to +10%.
Default value is 0%. The contrast is reset to the default (±0)
whenever a new paper type is specified, regardless which method
has been used.
