Auto Ribbon Saving Mode
When the auto ribbon saving function is selected, it will be activated to
reduce ribbon loss when a no print area extends more than 20 mm. For
further information on this function, please ask a TOSHIBA TEC
authorised service representative.
NOTE:
Ribbon loss per ribbon saving
varies according to the relation
between the outer roll diameter
of the used ribbon and the print
speed.

NOTES:
1. Be sure to remove any slack in
the ribbon when printing.
Printing with a wrinkled
ribbon will lower the print
quality.
2. The Ribbon Sensor is mounted
on the rear of the Print Head
Block to detect a ribbon end.
When a ribbon end is
detected, “NO RIBBON”
message will appear on the
display and the ERROR LED
will illuminate.
