Chapter 7 Using the RibbonMinder
Running a Job
Once you have set up options for RibbonMinder, it works without attention.
When you begin printing with RibbonMinder enabled, the message display
shows a ribbon life value of 100%. The ribbon life decreases as the ink is
consumed.
New Ribbon
The New Ribbon option allows you to reset the ribbon life when you replace a
worn ribbon. It may be necessary to replace ribbons before the ink has been
depleted (e.g. when the ribbon has been snagged, folded, or otherwise
damaged).
