Intermec EasyCoder PF2i, PF4i, and PF4i Compact Industrial—Service Manual 67
Chapter 6—Transfer Ribbon Mechanism
Adjustment (Fingerprint)
Low diameter
In the Setup Mode, it is possible to specify the diameter (in millimeters) of
the ribbon supply roll, where a ribbon low condition should be detected.
By default, this parameter (Media/Paper Type/Transfer/Low Diameter, see
Appendix A) is set to 0, which disables the function. To enable it, enter the
desired value.
By reading SYSVAR(26) in a Fingerprint application program, the status of
the ribbon low sensor can be polled. SYSVAR(26) returns 0 if the diameter
of the ribbon supply roll is greater and 1 if it is less than the value entered
in the Setup Mode.
Note that a full forward rotation of the supply bobbin must have been
completed. If not, 0 will be returned.
Note: When the ribbon low function is enabled, error condition 1083
“Ribbon low” is reported every tenth time SYSVAR(26) = 1 is detected in
connection with a PRINTFEED.
Sensitivity
• Enter the Setup Mode and follow the path:
Media/Paper Type/Transfer/Ribbon Sensor
• In the Ribbon Sensor menu, press <Enter> to perform a Testfeed.
• The printer will feed out a few labels and feed the ribbon accordingly.
• While the ribbon mechanism is operating, the ribbon sensor is
autoadjusted and the resulting adjustment value is shown in the lower
line of the menu (read-only).
Adjustment (IPL)
There is no facility for adjusting neither the low diameter or nor the
sensitivity of the ribbon sensor in IPL.
