Ribbon Saver
A roll of certified monochrome ribbon enables the Ribbon Saver feature in the printer. Ribbon
Saver can increase the number of cards printed with each roll of ribbon because only the printed
portion of the ribbon is used. Excess ribbon is not advanced, reducing waste.
The KTT ribbon type is not supported in OpenCard-enabled systems. It uses only
one T panel, instead of both.
