When a ribbon end is detected where the unfinished label length is less than 30
mm, the printer completes the half-finished label and stops printing when the
next label is at the home position, displaying the error message “NO RIBBON
X”. (“X” indicates the remaining number of labels.)
The remaining number of labels = [Specified number of labels]
−
[The number
of finished labels including half-finished one]
If a ribbon end is detected while the specified last label is printed, the position of
“X” will be blank.
When the printing is restarted, first the initial feed is performed, and then the
printer starts printing from the next label.
In case of the ribbon end while the specified last label is printed, only the initial
feed is performed, and if the status response is set to ON, an issue end status
is sent following a feed end status.
