A2.3 Ribbon Near End
Detection
This section gives you additional information regarding ribbon near
end detection.
• The printer detects that the ribbon is about to run out, when 10 +_
7m of ribbon is remaining.
• When the ribbon is about to run out, the ERROR LED flashes.
When replacing the ribbon, the printer resumes printing. Then
the ERROR LED is turned off. When replacing one ribbon, if
there is another ribbon that is about to run out, the ERROR LED
remains flashing.
• Switches in DIP Switch A can be changed to specify how the
printer operates when the ribbon is about to run out.

When detecting that the ribbon is about to run out, the ERROR

the PAUSE key were pressed. Press the RESTART key to
resume printing.
2
When detecting that the ribbon is about to run out, the ERROR
LED flashes. However the printer does not stop printing until
the ribbon runs out completely or finishes the print job.
• While the ERROR LED is indicating that one ribbon is about to
run out, the printer does not detect that another ribbon is almost
running out.
• When using Ribbon Save Mode, the printer cannot detect that the
ribbon is about to run out, unless the ribbon advances over 50mm.
