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.
