The print ribbon and the smartcard work
together, and the fax will not work without the
smartcard. The print ribbon prints onto paper
and the smartcard monitors how much ribbon
has been used.
Warning
Use only print ribbons that match the supplier’s
specifications. Using other types may result in
damage to the main machine and invalidate the
manufacturer’s warranty.
Documents printed by your machine may be read
from the used print ribbon. If certain documents are
to be kept confidential, you may want to remove the
print ribbon whenever the machine is unattended.
