Star Micronics RC300B Ribbon Cartridges
Star Micronics impact printers take a snap-in ribbon cartridge identified by an RC code, and RC300B is the black ribbon covered in this section. The cartridge houses the ribbon loop and the take-up mechanism together, so it is replaced as a single unit rather than refilled. The code is printed on the top of the cartridge, which makes it easy to confirm before ordering.
When to Change a Star Micronics Ribbon
Because impact printing relies on striking the ribbon against the paper, output fades steadily as the ink is used rather than stopping at a set page count. Faint receipts, weak totals or an unreadable second copy are the usual signs a change is due. Sites that print receipts through the day generally keep at least one spare cartridge with the paper rolls.
