Ribbon Size

The standard ribbon size is 100 yards in the cabinet model and 60 yards in
the pedestal model; these are the factory default settings. You can use the
Ribbon Size option to specify the ribbon length in increments of one yard with
a maximum of 255 yards.

Ribbon Adjust

Enables you to print more or less pages before the display reaches 0%. If the
ribbon normally prints 1000 pages before reaching 0%, configuring the
Ribbon Adjust to 10% will print 10% more pages before reaching 0%. A -10%
will cause the display to reach 0% after 10% fewer pages. The setting can
range from -99% to 99%. 0% is the default.

Fault Action

When set to New Ribbon (the default), opening the platen while in RIBBON
INK OUT / CHANGE RIBBON fault will reset the ribbon life to 100%, just as if
the New Ribbon menu option was executed.

When set to Do Nothing, the ribbon life may only be reset through the New
Ribbon menu option.
