Detecting a Ribbon Out Condition
When you run out of ribbon, your printer will report a Media Alert for a ‘Ribbon Out’ condition with the
STATUS Indicator. The printer detects the silvery reflector on the end of Zebra brand ribbon roll and the
printer displays a Media Alert (STATUS Indicator is Flashing Red). This is part of the normal media usage
cycle.
Recovering from a Ribbon Out condition
1. Open the printer.
2. Observe a reflective ribbon (used to detect end of ribbon) is exposed on the underside of the ribbon
cartridge or ribbon roll.The front ribbon/top roll is also full.
3. Remove the used Take Up roll of ribbon and dispose of it properly. Keep the now empty Supply ribbon
core localed towards the bottom/back of the ribbon carriage.
4. Load new ribbon roll. See Loading Thermal Transfer Roll Ribbon.
5. Press the FEED (Advance) button once to resume printing.
Discard full roll of used ribbon
from the Take Up Spindles.
Move the empty ribbon roll core
up to replace the discarded Take
Up roll.
