About Selecting and Synchronizing the Image Printer Ribbon
Each side of a printed card processed by the EC2000 consumes a varying number of card-sized panels of
dye from the image printer ribbon, depending on the ribbon type and whether the card is printed on both
sides. After inserting a new ribbon, the EC2000 must be calibrated so it will recognize the loaded
ribbon’s type and will align the ribbon’s panels properly with card stock during printing.
