Printing 11-17
In summary, your system and the installed ribbon together determine what kind of
color you can produce:
Ribbon color needed
When the system needs a different color ribbon installed to complete your print job,
it prompts you with a Color Needed message that asks you to install the required
ribbon, close the printer cover, and click OK to continue the print job. This process
is sometimes called swapping ribbons.
Note: For best printing results, we recommend that you avoid printing entire file
groups that contain labels that require ribbon swapping. When printing file
groups, the printer takes its information from the first label in the group.
The system may not be able to process new ribbon information you add
during the print job in time to affect the appropriate label(s).
Substituting ribbon colors
When printing multiple colors by swapping ribbons, you can substitute a different
color for the color currently being prompted. If you open and close the printer
cover, printing will continue with the current color regardless of whether or not it is
the specific color required by the print job:
