Why when i use new ribbon ymckk printer show error 122?

Technically, that error number (122) is associated with "Ribbon: Wrong Material" error message, and further description of: "

The print Ribbon is not installed properly or has been damaged.".
If you're certain the ribbon & film are loaded properly, and in the correct carriers, the next thing to try is a new ribbon and/or new film to see if the error is consistent. If new materials don't solve the issue, then it seems likely you're having a hardware fault of some kind, which would require service.

If you're located in the USA, we are a servicing dealer for Fargo, and can help with out-of-warranty service. If outside the USA, or if the unit is still in warranty, consult your local dealer.

Good luck!

Hi Camille - that is indeed the error message for "ribbon out". This has a few possible causes:

1. Make sure you have the right ribbon for the printer. The standard color (YMCK) ribbon is #084051; if dual-sided, the standard YMCKK ribbon #084052; if monochrome/black print only, that is ribbon #084060.

2. Make sure the ribbon is loaded correctly. The spools are color-coded, so make sure the orange on the ribbon spool is in placed with the orange on the carrier - ditto for the blue.

3. Make sure you've changed the "ribbon", not the "film". The ribbon has orange and blue spools; the film has yellow & green spools.

4. Make sure the ribbon is loaded properly on the carrier - it goes the "long way" around the carrier, across the silver/metal rollers.

5. Try another new ribbon - they're RFID tagged, and occasionally an RFID tag is bad, missing, or corrupted.

6. Verify you have the latest printer firmware, to ensure all ribbon manufacturing site-codes (embedded in the RFID tag) are recognized as valid for your printer.

If you have continued problems, we can help with further support, including potential repairs. Good luck!

Not wright installed. Only Course

YOUR DRIVER CD IS CURREPTED.ANOTHER DRIVER CD USE.

Ribbon error message is displayed when the rotation of the ribbon spindle is not performed or not correctly detected. This can be due to various factors.
- The ribbon roll is not correctly fitted to the spindle.
- The sensors detecting the rotation are out of order or completetly filled with dust or grease.
In this case clean the sensors.
Another reason may be due to Direct thermal printing with a ribbon mounted.

If card image is spread out into the yellow panel and the next magenta panel ...and so on skiping panel of the ribbon, then is defenitlly a sensor mis calibration problem. Check if you working in a place where to much natural light is present. The printer needs to detect the diffrent colors of the ribbon panels to print without skkiping them. re-calibrate the sensor. also as to "see or sense" the timing white marks on the ribbon that separates each panel.

I hope i help

error in display. how to rectifie the problem

When you open and close the lid on this printer, it tries to realign the ribbon. If you are getting this error, I suggestion you Calibrate the print ribbon through the print driver printing preferences on the Calibrate tab.

check the printer driver and see if YMCKK is selected in the driver.

It's very possible you are not installing the ribbon properly.
When loading a new ribbon on a Monarch printer, you must save the plastic ribbon core (it's butter yellow in color) from the previous roll of ribbon. The core is what the ribbon is wound up on.
Do not throw away this plastic core - you need it for the next roll of ribbon you load!
You have to move this now empty core from the back ribbon spindle and slide it on the front ribbon spindle. You then load the new ribbon on the back spindle and attach the ribbon end to the empty plastic ribbon core on the front spindle.
You CAN NOT just tape the ribbon to the front spindle. You must have an empty ribbon core to attach the new ribbon to. The printer will give a 754 error unless you have two plastic cores on the two spindles. It can also give a 754 error if the ribbon is not loaded properly, and also if you have a bad motherboard. There are no ribbon sensors, so that's never going to be a problem...
