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 ribbon is out, the
Status
indicator will turn solid red and the Media indicator will be flashing red.
Recovering from a Ribbon Out condition
Open the printer. Do not turn the printer OFF.
Observe a reflective ribbon (used to detect the end of ribbon) is exposed on the underside of the ribbon cartridge or ribbon roll. The front ribbon roll is also full.
1 – Empty Ribbon Cartridge
2 – End of Ribbon at the Reflective Ribbon Trailer
