RIBBONMINDER
RibbonMinder™ monitors ink consumption to ensure quality printing. The
“RibbonMinder” chapter explains how to use this feature and its options in
more detail.
New Ribbon
Whenever you install a new ribbon, you must reset the ribbon life to 100%.
Use the New Ribbon option to reset the ribbon display.
Ribbon Action
This option allows you to perform three functions:
• activate the RibbonMinder ink consumption display
• disable the ink consumption display
• flash a fault 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 continue monitoring how much ink
is left in the ribbon. The Fault option activates a flash message when the
display reaches 0%. The default is disable.
