A
continuous

such
as
green
or
silver
(also
K
ribbon)
Ribbon Saver
Continuous
monochrome
printing
with
Datacard
‐
certified
ribbon
uses
the
Ribbon
Saver
feature.
With
Ribbon
Saver,
the
printer
begins
using
ribbon
at
a
location
that
corresponds
to
the
leading
edge
of
the
card.
The
printer
continues
to
spool
ribbon
for
the
length
of
the
image
but
no
farther.
The
printer
leaves
a
small
margin
between
each
card
to
avoid
image
overlap.
Print Text in Monochrome
Printing
text
using
a
K
panel
can
make
text
look
crisp,
because
it
uses
only
one
panel
for
printing.
Fine
text
is
more
readable
when
printed
with
more
power.
You
set
the
power
for
the
K
panel
using
Printer
Manager.
Refer
to
“Printer
Setting
Menu”
on
page
37
for
more
information.
The
font
used
also
affects
legibility.
The
printer
reliably
prints
6
‐
point
Arial
font.
Bold,
sans
‐
serif
fonts
are
more
readable
after
printing
than
serif
fonts,
or
fonts
with
thin
strokes,
as
shown
at
right.
In
the
example,
fonts
that
well
are
shown
toward
the
top
of
the
card.
