Economy
The Economy menu enables the definition of some of the parameters that have a direct cost
savings effect for the print run. All the values entered in this menu will therefore influence the
consumption of ink ribbon.
Ribbon Economy
-This feature uses the FADING technique, which is one the printer's
patented features.
If this feature is set to 0%, the printer will use exactly the same area of ribbon as the area of
the actual print, i.e. a 1:1 ratio. By increasing the value of Ribbon Economy, the consumption
of ribbon will be reduced, but this will not affect the size of the print.
The higher the value set for Ribbon Economy, the lower the print density.
This feature depends on the type of material being printed on. There are very few cases where
the FADING technology cannot be used. It is recommended to experiment with this feature
when installing the printer.
The printer and the print head cannot be overloaded in any way by entering high values in this
menu, but if increasing the Ribbon Economy, it is recommended that the contrast settings be
reduced accordingly, thus increasing the lifetime of the print head.
