Ribbon near end occurs when the amount of ribbon remaining is approximately less than 5 to 7 m (16.4 to 23.0 feet) (ribbon diameter: approximately 18 mm (0.71")). • The amount of ribbon remaining (5 to 7 m (16.4 to 23.0 feet)) is only for reference. The timing of ribbon near end varies depending on the ribbon thickness and the reading status of the ribbon sensor. Related Topics Status Icon [Ribbon Near End] Back to top
