Ribbon Saver
A roll of Datacard ‐ certified monochrome ribbon enables the Ribbon Saver feature in the printer.
Ribbon Saver can increase the number of cards printed with each roll of ribbon because only the
printed portion of the ribbon is used. Excess ribbon is not advanced, reducing waste.
Print Ribbon Storage Guidelines

Store print ribbon in the original package until you load it in the printer. Keep the original
packaging closed until you are ready to use the ribbon.

The print ribbon maintains its quality for about one year. For optimum card quality, purchase
and store quantities of print ribbon that can be used within one year.

The print ribbon and card stock might require secure storage and tracking. Follow your
organization’s policy for storing and tracking the supplies used to make cards.

Store the print ribbon in a location away from direct sunlight, with a temperature between
32° and 77°F (0° and 25°C). A range of 40% to 60% non ‐ condensing humidity is
recommended.

Install supply rolls at room temperature. If supplies are stored in an environment that is
cooler than the printer environment, allow supplies to reach room temperature before you
use them.

If the printer will not be used for an extended period, remove supplies from the printer and
store them with new supplies.
