UBI EasyCoder 501 – Service Manual
65
The Ribbon Save Device is a factory-installed option for Easy-
Coder 501 E and EasyCoder 501 SA. The purpose of the ribbon save
is to avoid unnecessary spending of thermal transfer ribbon when
feeding out blank labels, or large blank part of printed labels,
thereby reducing the cost of thermal transfer printing and increasing
the time between ribbon reloads.
The Ribbon Save Device works automatically, but can be turned off
if so desired (see chapter 10.2). When the software determines that
no printing is to be performed within the next 20 mm (
≈
0.8") or
more of paper feed, the printhead is lifted by a motor and the transfer
ribbon is stopped. The operation of lifting the printhead requires
approximately 0.09 sec. and occurs 10 mm after the last printed
character or object.
