About Color

You determine the color choices for your labels by the supplies you install.
When you compose a label, the system uses the ribbon supply installed in your
printer to determine which colors you can select for print colors, and the tape
supply to determine the background color. The information your system needs is
stored in the memory cell flag located on each ribbon and tape cartridge. The
system reads that information each time you:
When you print a label, the system checks the contents and size of the label against
what it knows about the ribbon that is installed. If the job requires that you install
different or additional ribbons or tapes, the system prompts you to do so at the
appropriate time in the print process.
The system also checks the label background color against the installed tape color,
and may display a warning message if there is a discrepancy.
Hint!

Ribbon color

The ribbon you install determines the color choices you have for the objects you
place in your labels. Depending on your system, you can use several types of
ribbon:

ribbon and tape choices affect the way your label prints.
Continuous single color ribbon, which contains one color throughout the
length of the entire ribbon. All three systems can use this type ribbon. This
type ribbon is sometimes referred to as "monochrome," because it contains a
single color.
Paneled ribbon, which has two or four colors and always includes black. The
panels are arranged sequentially in 8 inch (203 mm) or 16 inch (406 mm)
lengths on each ribbon. The printer makes multiple passes over the tape to
print those colors on the label. Only the Multicolor and the Color & Cut
systems can use paneled ribbons.
