Quick Diagnosis

If your documents have become increasingly faint, the ribbon is at the end of its life. If the error appears instantly, check the ribbon path for breaks or jams.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Open the printer lid to reach the carriage.
  2. Detach the empty ribbon cartridge.
  3. Install the new cartridge and thread the ribbon carefully.
  4. Remove any remaining slack by using the tension knob.

Prevention and Maintenance

Always keep a spare ribbon on hand. Regular inspection of the ribbon tension ensures the printer is always ready for work. Only use authorized ribbons to protect the sensor mechanisms.

When to call a technician

If the error persists after a proper ribbon installation, the ribbon detection sensor or the cartridge carrier assembly may require repair.

Frequently asked questions

This error means the ribbon is either exhausted or the tension sensor has detected a broken or improperly installed ribbon path.

Yes, printing without a ribbon will cause the needles to strike the platen directly, which can lead to permanent damage of the print head.

We strongly recommend genuine Fujitsu ribbons for the DL7600 series to maintain proper sensor operation and print density.

Simply use the adjustment dial on the new cartridge to take up the slack after installation.
