Detecting Supplies at Print Time Function (continued)

Step Procedure

3

When the Supplies checkbox is checked, the following takes place:

Ribbon and Film Type dropdown boxes are inactive and populated with
values of installed supplies. Dual Sided and Options are set to defaults
for detected supplies.

For example, no Dual Side options are available when no Output is
installed. This function provides automatic detection of an installed
feature whether it is automatically detecting supplies or not.

Before the Driver initiates each job, it retrieves the consumables values
from the Firmware.

If no Printer is found or no Ribbon is installed, the checkbox is allowed to
be checked. (Note: The previously-chosen Ribbon and Film values will
remain. You will see an error message.)

Activating the Device Options tab automatically repopulates the Ribbon
and Film types. (Note: You will see an error message if no Printer found
when activating the Device Options tab.)
