Loading a Used Ribbon

You can take the ribbon cartridge off the printer and reload it at a later time.
The ribbon life gauge automatically updates to reflect the correct remaining
capacity.
NOTE: Since the ribbon usage information is stored on the ribbon cartridge,

Consumable Monitoring with the Printer Management Utility

The CRS works with the Printer Management Utility (PMU). The PMU allows
a system administrator to remotely view the current consumable status of all
printers. The PMU can be configured to deliver alerts on all consumable
warnings. When a ribbon reaches the low state, the PMU notifies the system
administrator remotely via an automated e-mail alert of the low condition. This
allows corrective action to be taken before the ribbon reaches its end of life. If
the ribbon is not changed, an alert will again be initiated once the ribbon
reaches the 0% end point. Refer to your Printer Management Utility User's
Manual for details.
