Ribbon end error is detected by the ribbon sensor in the ribbon supply spindle. For the thermal transfer system, a ribbon end error occurs when the product detects that the ribbon in the ribbon supply spindle has not moved (rolled) more than 15 mm (0.59") after feeding the media.

• If an optional ribbon end sensor is installed and you have selected [Enabled] in the [Printing] > [Advanced] > [Ribbon End Sensor] menu, then a ribbon error occurs when the sensor detects the end of the ribbon.
