Detecting a Ribbon Out Condition
When you run out of printable ribbon, your printer will report a ‘Ribbon Out’ condition with the
Status and Media indicators. This is part of the normal media usage cycle.
When the printer detects that the media is out, the
Status ( ) indicator will turn solid red and the
Media ( ) indicator will be flashing red.
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. The front ribbon roll is also full.
3. Remove the used ribbon cartridge and dispose of it properly.
4. Insert a new ribbon cartridge. See Loading the Ribbon Cartridge on page 39.
5. Press the Feed (Advance) button once to resume printing.
Note • Institutions operating under HIPAA directives must destroy the used ribbon on
the cartridge.
