Chapter 1 Printer Overview

If a lighter setting is selected, the system will extend the amount of
printing it takes to reach zero.
Ribbon Flipping
In some cases, the application’s print pattern is narrow enough
where only half of the ribbon is used when printing. In these cases,
you can flip the ribbon and use the other half. The Integrated Print
Management System detects the flip and resets the ribbon life to
100%.
NOTE: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the print pattern is
sufficiently narrow to support flipping. If not, the ribbon life
may falsely indicate 100% for the flipped ribbon.
Loading a Used Ribbon
You can take ribbons off the printer and reload it at a later time. The
ribbon life gauge automatically updates to reflect the correct
remaining capacity.
NOTE: The ribbon must be reloaded back onto the same printer,
and in the same orientation as it was removed. If the used
ribbon is loaded onto a different printer, or if it is flipped
over, it will incorrectly indicate the ribbon as new.
Ribbon Log
The Integrated Printer Management System tracks all used
ribbons. This data allows you to monitor how many ribbons and
ribbon types have been used on the printer. This data is contained
in the ribbon log. To print the ribbon log, see page 287.
