Ribbon Width
When Same As Paper is selected, the printer automatically adjusts the ribbon
operating parameters to match the installed media width. In those cases
where the media width is less than the installed ribbon width, the Set In Menu
option should be selected. After selection, the ribbon width is set to the proper
value by pressing the
↓ key and choosing the actual ribbon width using the +
and
− keys. The chosen width is then selected by pressing the ↵ key.
The factory default is Same As Paper.
