Chapter 7 Using the RibbonMinder
RibbonMinder Fault
By pressing the CLEAR key, you clear the fault which will allow the printer to
continue printing for an additional two minutes. This allows you to complete a
nearly finished print job before changing the ribbon.
After the two-minute period has elapsed, the fault will reoccur if the Ribbon
Action remains set on FAULT (page 153). If the Ribbon Action is changed to
DISABLE or DISPLAY within the two-minute period, the fault will not reoccur.
If you do not want to change the ribbon at this time, you may disable
RibbonMinder. If the ribbon is worn, the “Change Ribbon” message will
reappear once the function is enabled again, and the printer status indicators
will flash until the ribbon is changed.
If the message display indicates the need to install a new ribbon and your
print job is one page short of completion, press CLEAR and then ON LINE to
print the last page. Otherwise, you may continue your print job at the end of
this procedure. The fault will occur again two minutes after clearing the fault.
NOTE: If the fault message appears on the control panel and the ribbon is
changed, the display will automatically reset to 100%. This feature
may be disabled through the Fault Action menu.
