Conditions That Trigger Ribbon Near End (Thermal Transfer Only)
Ribbon near end is detected by the ribbon sensor in the ribbon supply spindle. Ribbon near end
occurs when the amount of ribbon remaining is approximately less than 5 to 7 m (16.4 to 23.0 feet)
(ribbon diameter: approximately 18 mm (0.71")).
• The amount of ribbon remaining (5 to 7 m (16.4 to 23.0 feet)) is only for reference. The
timing of ribbon near end varies depending on the ribbon thickness and the reading
status of the ribbon sensor.
