Chapter 7 Using the RibbonMinder
Ribbon Adjust
You can adjust RibbonMinder to allow the printing of more or less pages
before the display reaches 0%. The adjustment is a percentage of the default
(0%) and ranges from -99% to 99%. For example, if the printer ordinarily
printed 1000 pages at the default setting (0%), by setting the adjustment to
10% it would print 1100 pages (1000 + 10%) before the display reached 0%.
Likewise, if the adjustment was set to -20%, it would print 800 pages (1000 -
20%) before the display reached 0%.
Pressing the NEXT key increases the percentage, while pressing the PREV
key decreases the percentage.
Fault Action
When set to New Ribbon (the default) opening the platen while in RIBBON
INK OUT / CHANGE RIBBON fault will reset the ribbon life to 100%, just as if
the New Ribbon menu option was executed.
When set to Do Nothing, the ribbon life may only be reset through the New
Ribbon menu option.
