3–13Chapter 3: Printer Menus and Configuring Your PrinterFast SlewSlew refers to the high speed paper motion that occurs whenever the printermoves paper more than one line. If your forms are thin or fragile such thatoutput stacking is a problem, you can decrease the printer's slew speed bysetting this parameter to Disabled. The default setting is Enabled.Double StrikeWhen set to Enabled, the printer strikes each dot twice. Use this to get betterprint quality when you are printing on an exceptionally thick form. Default isDisabled.Enabling this option decreases the printer throughput by approximately50%.Quality (T6218 only)The Quality panel menu setup option only applies to heavy forms printing onthe T6218 printer model. If the Paper Weight setting is Light, printingthroughput will always proceed at optimum speed.If the Paper Weight setting is either Medium or Heavy and the Qualitysetting is Enhanced, the printing throughput rate will be reduced to ensureoptimum print quality. The throughput reduction for the Heavy Paper Weightsetting is greater than that for the Medium Paper Weight setting.RibbonMonitorEnables the Ribbon Monitor feature. The selections are Enabled and Disabled(default).The Ribbon Monitor feature helps the printer operator determine when toreplace ribbons for optimum and consistent print quality. It works by countingthe estimated number of characters printed as jobs are printed. Since ribbonsare rated for an estimated number of characters, when the character countthreshold is reached for the current ribbon the operator is notified via the panelthat the ribbon needs to be replaced.Ribbon Monitor can be disabled at any time. However, the characters printedcount is reset to zero whenever Ribbon Monitor is enabled, so enabling thefeature should only be done with a fresh ribbon.If the Ribbon Monitor Fault occurs, and is cleared without the ribbon life thresh-old being increased or the ribbon count reset to zero, the “Replace Ribbon”message will reappear approximately every one million characters until one ofthese operations is performed. This message will also appear upon powerup ifthe ribbon count is above the threshold at that time.RibnMon ThreshSets the ribbon life threshold of the Ribbon Monitor feature. The default settingis 40, assumming that a 40 million character ribbon is being used. This settingshould be changed to 60 or 250 if a 60 million or 250 million character ribbon isused. The setting can be further refined based on the application being printed.
