INSTALL NEW IBM RIBBON
The ribbon sensor does not detect
the presence of the ribbon spool,
indicating a missing label or a
damaged sensor. (This fault
condition is entered into the
Ribbon Log as “Ribbon Not
Recognized.”)

undamaged. If the labels are missing, replace the ribbon. If the
labels are present and undamaged, clean the sensor lens with a
damp cloth or swab.

The sensor detects a bar code,
but it is not fully decoded. This

Error Log (not the Ribbon Log).
1. If the bar code label appears damaged, reverse the ribbon spools
on the ribbon hubs. If the bar code label appears undamaged,
clean the sensor lens with a damp cloth or swab.
2. Make sure the forms thickness lever is not too tight, which can
restrict ribbon motion. Loosen it if necessary.
3. Press START and run the print job again. If the message
reappears, replace the ribbon.
4. Press START and run the print job again. If the message
appears, replace the RibbonMinder sensor.
