ISO/IEC 19752:2004 Information technology -- Method for the determination of toner cartridge yield for monochromatic electrophotographic printers and multi-function devices that contain printer components http://www.iso.org
The page yield enables us to perform accurate comparisons across our products as well as any competitor products. Our research shows that the most likely competition for our printer is a laser printer. By rating in pages, we make it easier for users to compare and see our substantial cost advantage. Additionally, the page test protocol is a much better indicator of real life consumable yields compared with older character based ratings. The difficulty with character yield comparisons is that manufacturers use different tests, settings, applications and environments to produce a character yield. There are no published comparisons of how one manufacturer derived a character yield versus other manufacturers.

P8000 - P7000 & OPENPRINT CARTRIDGE CONSUMABLES – QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
“The “up to 20% reduction in consumable cost per page” for the P8000, P7000 and OpenPrint cartridge printer series is impressive. How this is derived?”
Customers will achieve more printed pages for less money. Cost per page is computed by dividing the list price of the cartridge by yield (number of pages produced). When customers perform this calculation on current P8000 - P7000 & OpenPrint cartridge ribbons relative to spool ribbons, they will experience on average a 20% reduction in cost per page.
“What benefits does a cartridge provide over spool ribbons?”
The cartridge delivers four key advantages over spool based printers: Clean Hands - No need to touch and thread the ribbon fabric through the print mechanism. Easy To Install - Quick and easy to change without requiring any special training, a cartridge ribbon virtually guides itself into the printer saving time and reducing load errors. Uniform Print Quality - The new cartridge technology continually flips and rotates the ribbon to distribute wear over the entire surface resulting in more uniform print quality and improving the readability of documents and labels. Longer Ribbon Life - In addition to print quality enhancements, the continual flipping and rotation of the ribbon allows the user to maximize the amount of ink in the ribbon fabric improving real-life performance over spool ribbons. The result is the longest ribbon life for a Printronix line matrix printer, providing more productivity and less interruptions during long print jobs.
“What cartridge ribbons are available for the P8000 - P7000 & OpenPrint family of line matrix printers?”
The P8000 - P7000 & OpenPrint cartridge ribbon line-up provides customers choice and flexibility to manage consumable costs. Customers can chose from the following options to match their print volume and budget.
Standard Life Cartridge – Single Pack
Lowest cost per purchase for customers with restrictive budget. Available in a single pack. This ribbon cartridge fits all P8000 - P7000 & OpenPrint printer models.
Extended Life Cartridge – Four Pack
For customers with budget flexibility and seeking the lowest operation cost. This cartridge ribbon fits all P8000 - P7000 & OpenPrint printers EXCEPT 500 line per minute models.

P8000 - P7000 & OPENPRINT CARTRIDGE CONSUMABLES – QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
15
“What is the page yield for the P8000 - P7000 & OpenPrint per cartridge ribbons?” The Standard Life cartridge page yield is 17,000 pages, the Extended Life cartridge page yield is 30,000 pages and the Extended Life Cartridge Ribbon for OpenPrint Models is 34,000 pages.
“What is the page yield for the P5000 and P7000 spool ribbons?”
The P5000 30M Spool Ribbon page yield is 4,000 pages and the P7000 Ultra Capacity Spool Ribbon page yield is 13,000 pages.
“What cartridge ribbons are available for the P7000HD and OpenPrint family of line matrix printers?”
The P7000HD and OpenPrint cartridge ribbon line-up provides customers choice and flexibility to manage consumable costs. Customers can chose either Standard or Extended Life cartridges to match their print volume and budget. The P7000HD and OpenPrint Cartridge family offers all the standard features and reliability found in the P7000 series. Additional benefits of the High Definition family are that they support a virtually limitless array of font styles, sizes and graphics. They provide all the necessary print resolution and system capabilities to easily drop into any Windows based laser print environment without any application modifications or special accommodations.
“Why did you choose a page rating?”
The page yield enables us to perform accurate comparisons across our products as well as any competitor products. Our research shows that the most likely competition for our printer is a laser printer. By rating in pages, we make it easier for users to compare and see our substantial cost advantage. Additionally, the page test protocol is a much better indicator of real life consumable yields compared with older character based ratings. The difficulty with character yield comparisons is that manufacturers use different tests, settings, applications and environments to produce a character yield. There are no published comparisons of how one manufacturer derived a character yield versus other manufacturers.

P8000 - P7000 & OPENPRINT CARTRIDGE CONSUMABLES – QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
16
“What is the main benefit to using genuine Printronix cartridge consumables?” The embedded microchip provides you precise, integrated control over ribbon life, print quality and most importantly, operating costs. Productivity is improved by preventing interruptions during longer print runs.
“Can I view the ribbon cartridge life indication remotely?”
Yes. PrintNet Enterprise enables the user to view ribbon life anywhere remotely via a simple web browser. Even better, PrintNet Enterprise can be set to issue your web enabled portable device an e-mail once the ribbon life is low and again when it is out.
“Can I track ribbon usage on the P8000 - P7000 & OpenPrint cartridge?”
Yes. The printer keeps track of the quantity and types of all cartridge ribbons used on the machine. This log can be checked at any time, and viewed remotely via PrintNet Enterprise, to determine how fast and how many ribbons your operation is consuming.
“Does the P8000-P7000 cartridge ribbon work with the Integrated Print Management System?”
Yes. The system provides the customer with control over ribbon life and print quality. The system default is set for high print quality. It recognizes when a new ribbon has been installed, tracks ribbon usage and alerts when the ribbon needs to be replaced. Users can set the ending darkness to meet quality needs or extended life.
“What if I run all kinds of different jobs, will the cartridge ribbon life indication remain accurate?”
Yes. The system uses a sophisticated algorithm that tracks usage in all the various sections of the ribbon automatically. As print patterns shift, it will use different parts of the ribbon, but this is all tracked and properly accounted for. The net indication then is the life remaining in whatever is the most depleted section of the ribbon.
Go back to Table of Content
Passion – Results – Integrity
“If I exchange partially used cartridge ribbons before they are depleted will the ribbon life indication remain accurate?”
Yes. A ribbon can be removed and replaced at any time, and the system will correctly tell you the ribbon life remaining on the currently loaded ribbon.
“What happens when the ribbon cartridge life reaches the end?”
The life indication will continue to count down until the remaining life gets low. At this point, the system will warn of a Ribbon Life Low condition. The indicator lamp will flash, the warning message will be displayed, and optionally e-mail alerts will be issued. Printing however will continue without any interruption. Once the remaining two percent is consumed the printer will stop to prevent the print quality from degrading below the set limit. The error lamp will flash, the audible alarm will sound, the display will indicate that the ribbon needs to be replaced, and optionally an e-mail alert will be issued.
“At what point is the cartridge ribbon low warning issued?”
Like the darkness set point, this is fully adjustable. The factory default is to declare Ribbon Low at 2% life remaining. “If my ribbon cartridge life reaches zero and the printer stops, can I at least finish my printing?”
Yes. By returning the printer to the on-line state, it will resume printing for approximately two more minutes. If still a bit more printing is needed, the printer can continue to be returned to the on-line state to gain extra minutes of operation. This process can be repeated indefinitely to extend printing as long as desired.
“Can I program my printer to not stop if the end of ribbon life is reached?”
Yes. Under the Advanced User section of the printer menus, you can select an option to ignore the ribbon end point. The ribbon life indication will continue to work, but no warnings will be issued and the printer will not stop once the life reaches 0%. Responsibility for insuring the proper change interval reverts back to the user.

P7000 SPOOL RIBBONS QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
20
“Which ribbon is right for my application?” The P7000 Spool Ultra Capacity ribbon is the right choice for most applications. It has been designed to give the darkest starting print, longest life, and lowest cost per page. It contains the necessary ingredients to be readable by infrared OCR and bar code scanners, and produces sharp, high contrast bar codes and text.
“When would I require the P7000 Spool Label ribbon?”
The ink used in the Ultra Capacity ribbons may not provide optimum images with some shiny or coated label face stocks. In these cases, Printronix recommends our specialty P7000 Spool Label ribbon, designed specifically for these applications.
“Will the same P7000 Spool ribbon fit the pedestal and quiet cabinet models?” Yes. The 179499-001 - P7000 Spool is the same size and is designed for the larger P7000 Spool Ribbons. As part of the new pedestal design for the P7000 Spool family, the interior capacity was increased to enable it to handle the new, larger size. So unlike its predecessor, there is no longer a difference in spool sizes between the pedestal and quiet cabinet models.
“Are the P5000 and P7000 Spool ribbons interchangeable?”
No. The P7000 Spool ribbons are too large to physically fit in either the pedestal or quiet cabinet P5000 printers. Additionally, the new easy load hub on the P7000 Spool will not accommodate the older P5000 spool design.
“What is the comparable cost of operation between a P5000 and P7000 Spool?”
The P7000 Spool ribbon, unique ink formulation actually delivers more yield per unit than the P5000 ribbons. These savings are passed on to the user resulting in a decrease in the cost per page over the already economical P5000 ribbons. For example, on a per character basis the P7000 supplies are almost 28% less expensive than our most popular P5000 ribbons.
Go back to Table of Content
Passion – Results – Integrity “If the cost of operation is better than the P5000, why do the P7000 Spool ribbons have a higher price?”
Operating cost is based on cost per volume of printing. Since the P7000 Spool ribbons yield more than any comparable P5000 ribbons, the price will be higher on a per spool basis. However, if you divide the spool price by its yield, you will see that you are saving money with the P7000 Spool.
“Can I buy the ribbons for the P7000 Spool from my current Printronix supplier?”
Yes. All existing suppliers of Genuine Printronix ribbons have access to the new P7000 Spool suite of ribbons.
“I do not use Genuine Printronix Supplies today. Can I continue to buy from my existing supplier?” Yes. Many of these suppliers have access to Genuine Printronix Supplies.
“Why should I use Genuine Printronix ribbons for my P7000 Spool?”
The number one reason is reliability. Most manufacturers of third party ribbons use excessive, inconsistent, or low quality ink. Even if the resulting print quality is found to be acceptable, the impact on the mechanism is not. These poor formulations shed their ink into the hammer bank and eventually stop it from printing. The only cure is an expensive tear down and clean up of your printer by a trained service personnel. Since this is a common problem in the field and is not a printer malfunction, these service calls are typically not covered by your service contract.
“Are there other brands of ribbons that will fit my P7000 Spool?”
The P7000 Spool ribbon is a brand new product and at the time of its introduction, we are only aware of Printronix and IBM branded ribbons that will function properly. Typically, the compatible manufacturers will wait until they see sufficient demand in the market before proceeding with making their own products.
“I have found a third party ribbon for my P7000 Spool which the printer identifies as “Unauthorized OEM”, what does
this mean?” This product will work on your P7000 Spool, but the design is not suitable to prevent ink contamination and does not correctly report its characteristics to the Integrated Print Management system. Since the correct data is not provided, the ribbon life indication will not work and has been disabled.

P5000 CONSUMABLES QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
25
“Why can't I run my existing ribbons on the P5220 & P5224?” Although they may look similar, they are in fact quite different. The 2000 LPM printer achieves its high print speed by virtue of having dual rows of hammers. It is almost like two line matrix printers stacked on top of one another. This unique geometry, coupled with high speed printing, places very special demands on the ribbon design. The Gold Series 2000 ribbon has been specially designed and patented to be optimized for this unique configuration.
“To simplify things, could I switch the ribbons for all my printers to the Gold Series 2000?”
The simple answer is no. This ribbon is designed to deliver superior print quality on the high speed P5220 and P5224. This superior quality is the result of a unique ribbon design, which has been patented by Printronix.
“Why are the spools different between the P5220/P5224 and my other printers?”
The P5220/P5224 hub is larger to prevent the loading of an incorrect ribbon. Superior print quality occurs only with the patented Gold Series 2000 ribbon.
“Is there really that much variation and importance in ribbon design?”
Yes. Although the concept is very simple, the details of the design are very critical. If the ribbon is too thick, it will produce a fuzzy image. If it is too thin, it won't supply enough ink. If the ink dries too fast, it won't last once exposed to air. If it dries too slow, it will smear. If it is too moist, it will clog the print hammers. If it does not have enough ink, it will run out too quickly. If the ink flows too easily, it may flow to the bottom of the ribbon. If it flows too slowly, it might not support a high enough print speed. If the ink is not dark enough, it will produce low contrast printing and poor bar codes. If it has too many or the wrong darkening agents, it will damage the printer.
Similarly, the design of the printer introduces a whole other set of variables that effect ribbon design. How fast will the ribbon move past the hammers? How fast are the hammers striking? How close are they to each other? How big are the tips? The list of questions and complex tradeoffs goes on and on, which is why it is so valuable that Printronix engineers both the ribbon and the printer to work together. The performance yielded from the Gold Series ribbons is a great testimony to what can be achieved with total design control.

P5000 CONSUMABLES QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
26
“Why does my generic ribbon print darker than the Printronix ribbon?” This is a true indication of an over-inked ribbon. Many generic ribbons contain excessive ink and appear to print darker. These ribbons will lead to expensive repairs due to ink migration onto the print hammers. When ink builds up as gummy, sticky deposits in the hammerbank, print quality deteriorates. This can result in the most costly repair in the printer. Often service contracts will not cover these repair costs. Printronix ribbons have a precisely controlled ink load and are guaranteed to prevent ink migration problems.
“Aren't all printer ribbons similar and made with similar inks?”
The selection and use of the ink formulation incorporated in any printer ribbon is dependent upon the impression method of the printer, the paper or label material upon which the data is to be printed and the eventual application and use of the data or graphics created. The ribbon inks used in Genuine Printronix Ribbons are formulated for consistency, quality and extended life with your applications in mind.
“What causes the quality and darkness of my printed output to change drastically every time
I change my printer ribbon?” If not properly controlled during manufacturing, the amount of ink within a new ribbon can vary not only between various suppliers, but also from batch to batch from a single vendor. These variations of ink content can produce significant inconsistencies and quality variations in your printed data and bar code applications. Ideally, ribbons should have an initial inking level of approximately 19% by weight. Below this level, useful ribbon life will be significantly reduced. Above this level, spreading and smearing of barcodes and characters will be observed.
“Why is there a Ball Shot attachment instead of a mylar leader?”
In a continuous drive to improve ribbon quality and reliability, we have found the mechanical security of ball shot ribbon attachment superior to previous adhesive based attachment methods. The benefit is more uptime with fewer possible interruptions. The ball-shot attachment is combined to a stitched wire that

P5000 CONSUMABLES QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

“Are there any specific instructions to install the ribbon with the ball-shot attachment?” After removing your ribbon spools from the shrink wrap, please install the ribbon as received. DO NOT WIND THE RIBBON so all of the fabric is on one spool or you will experience ribbon reversing problems.
“Will static from a ribbon cause printing problems?”
In recent testing we have found a number of non-Printronix ribbons can generate static during the printing operation. This electronic discharge (static) can result in printer stoppage, controller logic resets, and (in the worst cases) damage to electronic components in the system's circuits. Genuine Printronix ribbons are specifically manufactured with high impact styrene spools that have been selected and tested to prevent potentially destructive static build up.
“How important is ribbon quality when printing bar codes?
Control of ink spread is most critical in any bar code application. You must ensure that the space elements between bars remains a constant width and that the code remains scanner readable without variations or errors. It is also required that the ink be uniformly dispersed along the entire length of the ribbon to eliminate variations in print density during the ribbon's productive life. Genuine Printronix ribbons are manufactured to exacting specifications and quality controlled to ensure that each ribbon you receive produces a level of density and image quality that is consistent from application to application.
“Can I use a mylar ribbon with my Printronix printer?”
Because of the highly abrasive nature of the mylar ribbon base material, the use of these ribbons is not approved or recommended for use with Printronix printer systems. Our oratory lab has found that mylar ribbons can cause excessive wear and will eventually destroy the ribbon mask of the printer in a very short period of time.
“Does packaging have any effect on the performance of a printer ribbon?”
Because of the liquid properties of inks, printer ribbons require proper protective packaging to ensure that evaporation during shipping and storage is minimized. Each Genuine Printronix ribbon is individually protected by a plastic shrink wrap. Because of the somewhat perishable nature of impact printer ribbons, a date of manufacture is provided so that proper inventory rotation can be instituted. All of the outer cartons and shipping containers of Genuine Printronix supplies are designed to protect the ribbons from physical damage and distortion during shipping and handling.

HOW TO DETERMINE SUPPLY NEEDS
Are you printing labels or tags? Are you printing with a thermal transfer or direct
thermal printer? What type of media are you printing? What size label are you printing? How many printers? How many labels are you printing per day or
week?
To maximize the benefits of the Printronix M4L2, T2N, T4M/SL4M, T5000r/SL5000r and T8000 series, we recommend using Genuine Printronix ribbons, media and consumables matched to the specific application requirements to ensure your M4L2, T2N, T4M/SL4M, T5000r/SL5000r and T8000 thermal printer is ready for all “mission-critical” applications. The demands of bar code and labelling are unique to your specific application. The ribbons and label media selected will both play a significant role in the success or failure of these applications. Every bar code and label application has easily definable requirements that will contribute to its ultimate utility and success. Defining the operational, environmental and physical conditions that a label will encounter during its life is the first step in ensuring success.
When your label is installed in its operating environment, it must not only have the highest possible printing quality but must also continue to function as intended for its entire lifetime. Different ribbon ink formulations are available to support a wide selection of media materials. Enhanced Wax formulation for low cost per label,
uncoated papers to mid-range synthetic films - this range is designed for high volume label printing and compliance label printing where cost per label is critical.
Wax resin blends for selected paper, polyethylene and polyester labels - this range is for applications requiring a more durable image on coated paper and synthetic face stocks at higher print speeds and provides a cost effective and durable premium image solution.
Resin formulations for increased image durability on film face stock - designed specifically for industrial “toughness” and formulated for synthetic film label applications

Thermal Transfer Technology : applies heat to a ribbon and the image or barcode is then transferred to labels or tags. Compared to the Direct Thermal technology, the Thermal Transfer Technology produces a higher quality, longer lasting image on the tag or label. For the best image quality and durability, it is important that the ribbon type and media are compatible. The following chart illustrates the combinations of Printronix ribbons and media that will produce the best results.

THERMAL SUPPLIES QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
83
“Are T8000 & T5r ES or SL5r ribbons and media compatible with the T2N/T4M/SL4M?” Yes, as long as the ribbons do not exceed 450 Meters in length and a 4.33” (110 mm) width. In addition, the T4M and SL4M can use ribbon with ink coated side in or coated side out without making any changes to the printer settings. As there is no toxic elements in the ribbons, they can be disposed as normal waste. Outside wound or inside wound media rolls will also work in the TN2/T4M/SL4M. For fanfold media, simply insert the media from the bottom or the rear of the printer.
“Are tools required for the T4M/ SL4M snap-in printhead to change resolution?” No. Similar to the T8000 or SL5r/T5r, changing print resolution from 203 to 305 DPI and vice versa is achieved by simply changing the print head which self aligns within the print mechanism. The SL4M/T4m auto-detects the printhead resolution and makes all parameters changes.
“Will the same RFID media used on a SL5r work on the SL4M?”
Yes. The SL4M uses the same MP2 encoding platform found on the SL5r and the SLPA. With MP2, the same RFID media can be used in all three models to leverage volume and reduce tag costs, increase inventory efficiency, and optimize production. The SL4M also features advanced tag calibration to use for existing media inventory with non- standard tag positions.
“Are printheads the same for T8000, T5/SL5, T4M/SL4M?”
No. The printheads of the T8000 can not be used with T5/SL5 nor with T4M/SL4M and vice versa. However, in contrary to the T5/SL5, printheads are the same for the T4M and SL4M
“Are printheads the same for T4M/SL4M and T2N?” No. The printheads of the T4M/SL4M can not be used with the T2N and vice versa.

“How do I determine the correct ribbon for a specific application?” The intended application drives ribbon selection. Thorough testing under operational conditions of the ribbon and media that you have selected, is highly recommended in order to ensure the requirements of the application are met. This precautionary procedure will not only confirm the validity of your ribbon and media selections, but also assist in identifying any unanticipated production, handling, and usage difficulties before they can affect the performance and effectiveness of your application. Testing of label adhesion, durability, and resistance to expected environmental conditions before implementation will ensure effective and economical system implementation.
“Why do Printronix ribbons sometimes cost more than other brands?” Printronix thermal transfer ribbons use the latest advancements in formulation and manufacturing to provide outstanding performance at competitive price points. Do not be fooled by comparing the price per roll of Printronix Thermal Transfer ribbon with a competitive ribbon. Each Printronix Thermal Transfer ribbon is longer, so you are comparing more with less (625 meters Printronix Thermal Transfer ribbons vs. shorter competitive ribbons). The Thermal Transfer ribbon is designed to increase your manufacturing productivity and reduce your operating costs. The T8000, T5000r and SL5000r use the longest ribbon in the industry for a standard bar code printer. You save money with fewer ribbon changes. For example, if your current printer is using a 450 meters ribbon you will reduce ribbon changing labour costs of 28%! In addition, your printer will have more 'up time'. The labour cost reduction is even greater (42%) if you are currently using a 360 meters ribbon. That is only part of the story. The best way to compare basic ribbon cost is to calculate the ribbon cost per square meter (m2)
THERMAL SUPPLIES QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Passion – Results – Integrity
“How do I compare ribbon costs?” The best way to compare basic ribbon cost is to calculate the ribbon cost per square meter (m2). This simple calculation allows a comparison of the basic ribbon cost using the area of the ribbon. The area of the ribbon is equal to width (in mm) multiplied by length (in meters). M2 = the total square meter area of the ribbon. For example, a 220 mm (8.66”) wide Printronix Thermal Transfer ribbon and 625 meters long. Total area (0.220 wide x 625 meters) is equal to 137.50 m2. Ribbon roll price/137.50 m2 = ribbon price per m2. Printronix Thermal Transfer ribbons are longer (625 meters) than competitive ribbons, which length is 450 meters
“How many labels per ribbon will the Printronix Thermal Transfer ribbon yield?” The Printronix Thermal Transfer ribbon is 625 meters in length. 625 meters = 625,000 mm or 24,612” in length. For a typical 6” (152 mm) wide by 4” (102 mm) long label, a total of 5,966 labels can be printed. 4.00” long label plus 1/8” gap = 4.125” label length. Labels per ribbon = ribbon length/label length = 24,612/4.125 = 5,966 labels. (Labels per ribbon = ribbon length in mm/Label height in mm = Labels numbers)
“How do I compare the consumables cost of ownership?” Consumables cost of ownership for thermal transfer printers is based on printhead and ribbon consumption. T8000, T5000r/SL5000r, T4M printhead life is rated at 1,000,000 linear inches of direct thermal media and. T8000, T5000r/SL5000r, T4M and T2N printhead life is rated at 2,000,000 linear inches thermal transfer printing. Each Printronix Thermal Transfer ribbon prints 24,612 inches of media

“How do I specify media?” To help select media consider the following questions: • Have you already selected a printing technology (Direct Thermal or Thermal Transfer)? • How long must your label last? (Film labels last longer than paper labels.) • What level of abrasion from handling or scanning is anticipated? (Wax/Resin blend ribbons increase resistance to
abrasion. Extreme abrasion will require a tough face stock.) • Is the label intended for indoor or outdoor use or both? (Film labels are best for outdoor applications, paper degrades
in sunlight.) • If outdoor use, is it a short or extended exposure? • What is the level of moisture or humidity that your label will experience? (Coated paper labels can withstand minimal
exposure to moisture.) • What temperatures must be withstood during the application or use of the label? (Paper labels work in same
temperature as people. Otherwise, use film labels for wider temperature ranges.) • What if high durability and tear resistance are desired? (Polyester labels provide highest durability and tear
resistance.) • What is the media format required (adhesive backed label or free hanging tag/ticket)? • What are the surface characteristics of the product or item to be labelled? (Important for determining if a special
adhesive is required.) • Is the label intended to be permanent or removable? (Removable labels use a special adhesive.) • Is a temper-evident material necessary? (Niche applications require special label construction.) • Is chemical, oil, blood, or solvent resistance necessary? (Requires use of film label materials.

“How do I get a quote for media?” Simply provide the following information to your Printronix Supplies Representative (page 102) • Label face stock (determined by asking questions outlined in “How do I specify media?” question on previous page). • Label construction: pressure sensitive or tag; perforation between each label; notch or printed 'top of form' mark; and
any other special considerations. • Label size (width x height). • Label configuration: on Roll or fan folded. • Preprinted information or background colour. • Expected volume - annual, monthly, etc. • Target price - current price points, etc.
Turnaround time on price quotes is usually less than 48 hours. Having all the label information will speed up the quoting process.

reduce downtime, with a patented ribbon jam prevention
system. The high-density ribbon yields a longer life and a
darker print quality.
EMBEDDED MICROCHIP = Provides precise, integrated control
over ribbon life, print quality and operating costs. Productivity
is improved by preventing interruptions of long print runs.
CARTRIDGE RIBBON DESIGN = With the self-contained
cartridge ribbon, changing ribbons is easier, cleaner and faster
when compared to spool and laser printers.
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVANTAGE = Line matrix consumables are
inherently greener than serial or laser printer consumables,
able to print on paper with a higher percentage of recycled
content.

“30% reduction in consumable cost per page for the 6800 and 6600 is impressive. How this is derived?” The 6800 and 6600 cartridge has longer ribbon life resulting in higher yield and delivered to the market at the same price as previous generation (6200/6300) cartridge ribbon. Customers will achieve more printed pages for less money. Cost per page is computed by dividing the list price of the cartridge by yield (number of pages produced). When customers perform this calculation on current 6800 and 6600 cartridge ribbons relative to 6200 and 6300 cartridge ribbons, they will experience on average a 30% reduction in cost per page.
“What cartridge ribbons are available for the 6800 and 6600?”
The 6800 and 6600 ribbon cartridge line-up provides customers choice and flexibility to manage consumable costs. Customers can chose from the following options to match their print volume and budget.
Standard Life – Single Pack This ribbon cartridge fits all 6800 and 6600 printers models. Lowest cost per purchase for customers with restrictive budget.
Extended Life – Four Pack This ribbon cartridge fits 6x10, 6x10Q, 6x15, 6x15Q, 6x20Q, 6x10Z and 6x15Z printer models. For customers with budget flexibility and seeking the lowest operation cost
“Why did you choose a page rating?” Our research shows that the most likely competition for our printer is a laser printer. By rating in pages, we make it easier for users to compare and see our substantial cost advantage. Additionally, the page test protocol is a much better indicator of real life consumable yields compared with older character based ratings.

“What is the page yield for the 6800 and 6600 ribbon cartridges?” The Standard Life cartridge page yield is 17,000 pages and the Extended Life cartridge page yield is 30,000 pages.
“Are my 6800 and 6600 ribbon cartridges interchangeable with the earlier TallyGenicom 6200 and 6300 ribbon
cartridges?” No, they are not interchangeable. The Standard Life and Extended Life cartridges were specifically designed for the 6800 and 6600 Series. The 6800 and 6600 ribbon cartridge have a smaller footprint than the 6200 and 6300 ribbon cartridges. It is physically impossible to install a 6200/6300 ribbon cartridge on a 6800 and 6600 printer.
“What are the differences between 6200 / 6300 and the 6800 and 6600 cartridge?”
LONGER LASTING INK = Fewer ribbon changes yield more productivity and contribute to a lower cost of ownership. REDESIGNED RIBBON SYSTEM = Less IT interventions and less downtime, delivered by a patented feature only available with genuine TallyGenicom consumables. EMBEDDED MICROCHIP = Gives you precise, integrated control over ribbon life, print quality and most importantly, operating costs. Prevents interruptions during longer print runs. NEW COMPACT CARTRIDGE DESIGN = A more efficient use of materials contributes to less shipping, packaging and storage..
“Do the 6800 and 6600 ribbon cartridge work with the Integrated Print Management System?”
Yes. The system provides the customer with control over ribbon life and print quality. The system default is set for high print quality. It recognizes when a new ribbon has been installed, tracks ribbon usage and alerts when the ribbon needs to be replaced. Users cam set the ending darkness to meet quality needs or extended life.

“Can I view the ribbon cartridge life indication remotely?” Yes. On PrintNet Enterprise equipped printers ribbon life can be viewed anywhere remotely via a simple web browser. Even better, PrintNet Enterprise can be set to issue your web enabled portable device an e-mail once the ribbon life is low and again when it is out. In addition, the ribbon life can viewed via the Web Panel.
“What if I run all kinds of different jobs, will the ribbon cartridge life indication remain accurate?”
Yes. The system uses a sophisticated algorithm that tracks usage in all the various sections of the ribbon automatically. As print patterns shift, it will use different parts of the ribbon, but this is all tracked and properly accounted for. The net indication then is the life remaining in whatever is the most depleted section of the ribbon.
“If I exchange partially used ribbon cartridges before they are depleted will the ribbon life indication remain
accurate?” Yes. A ribbon can be taken off and replaced at any time, and the system will correctly tell you the ribbon life remaining on the currently loaded ribbon.
“What happens when the ribbon cartridge life reaches the end?”
The life indication will continue to count down until the remaining life gets low. At this point, the system will warn of a Ribbon Life Low condition. The indicator lamp will flash, the warning message will be displayed, and optionally e-mail alerts will be issued. Printing, however will continue without any interruption. Once the remaining two percent is consumed the printer will stop to prevent the print quality from degrading below the set limit. The error lamp will flash, the audible alarm will sound, the display will indicate that the ribbon needs to be replaced, and optionally an e-mail alert will be issued.
“If my ribbon cartridge life reaches zero and the printer stops, can I at least finish my printing?”
Yes. By returning the printer to the on-line state, it will resume printing for approximately two more minutes. If still a bit more printing is needed, the printer can continue to be returned to the on-line state to gain extra minutes of operation. This process can be repeated indefinitely to extend printing as long as desired.

“At what point is the ribbon low warning issued?” Like the darkness set point, this is fully adjustable. The factory default is to declare Ribbon Low at 2% life remaining.
“Can I program my printer to not stop if the end of ribbon life is reached?”
Yes. Under the Advanced User section of the printer menus, you can select an option to ignore the ribbon end point. The ribbon life indication will continue to work, but no warnings will be issued and the printer will not stop once the life reaches 0%. Responsibility for insuring the proper change interval reverts back to the user.
“Can I track ribbon usage on the 6800 and 6600?”
Yes. The printer keeps track of the quantity and types of all ribbons used on the machine. This log can be checked at any time, and viewed remotely via PrintNet Enterprise, to determine how fast and how many ribbons your operation is consuming.
“Can an estimate of the page vs character yield be provided?”
The page yield for the TG40M character cartridge is 13,8000 pages. The page yield for the TG60M character cartridge is 20,700 pages. The difficulty with character yield comparisons is that manufacturers use different tests, settings, applications and environments to produce a character yield. There are no published comparisons of how one manufacturer derived a character yield versus other manufacturers. Plus, there is no way to ensure validity of yield results and ensure apples to apples comparisons against our character yield.
The 6800 and 6600 cartridge ribbons are rated in pages only. The page yield enables us to perform accurate comparisons across our products as well as any competitor products.
