Chapter 2 - Basic Operation

2-5 Installing a Ribbon Cartridge

Ribbon cartridges must be installed in cartridge holders, and not mounted directly on the printing carriage.

Do not allow the marker seals on the ribbon cartridges to be soiled or scratched.

Such damage may result in faulty operation.

When performing full-color printing, install ribbon cartridges for four colors (CMYK).

NOTICE

When closing the front cover, close gently by pressing with the hand, being careful not to let your fingers get

pinched.

The PC-600 can perform printing using either resin or wax ribbons. Please give attention to the matters

described below. Failure to do so may make it impossible to achieve attractive printing results.

• Do not attempt printing with a mixture of resin and wax ribbons. Use only one type of ribbon at any given

time.

• Make sure that the type of ink ribbon installed (resin or wax) matches the setting for the driver (resin or

wax).

• Resin ribbons and wax ribbons are suited to different types of media.

Please select a medium that is appropriate for the type of ribbon in use.

Do not allow the hands to touch the ink ribbons when opening or closing the front cover.

Please do not use a cartridge when it

shows the ribbon end stripe as

illustrated.

shows when the ink ribbon ran out.)

The PC-600 can automatically determine the color of an ribbon cartridge, so it doesn't matter which color cartridges are mounted in

which of the six cartridge holders.

Also, when more than one ribbon cartridge of the same color have been installed, the unit gives priority to the leftmost cartridge as seen

from the front. In such cases, if the first cartridge runs out of ink ribbon during printing, the unit simply selects the next cartridge and

continues printing.

Selecting Ribbon Cartridges

Process Color Printing

Full-color printing is performed using the process colors C (cyan), M (magenta), Y (yellow), and K (black). Install the four CMYK

ribbon cartridges in the cartridge holders.

For the software driver, select Process Colors. (Please refer to the help file for the PC-600 DRIVER.)

Special Color Printing

This is used when you wish to add emphasis to one area or perform printing with limited colors.

For the software driver, select Special Colors. (Please refer to the help file for the PC-600 DRIVER.)

Ribbon cartridges for special colors are sold separately.
