New Ribbon
Whenever you install a new ribbon, you must reset the ribbon life to 100%. The
New Ribbon option is where you reset the ribbon display.
Ribbon Action
This option allows you to perform three functions: activate the RibbonMinder ink

message when the display reaches 0%. Displaying the ribbon ink consumption
allows you to monitor the percentage of ink left in the ribbon. Disabling the ink
consumption monitor removes the visual display, but allows RibbonMinder to
