Approved Media
To achieve optimum print quality and maximum printhead life, Datamax specifies the use of DATAMAX
®
brand media and
ribbons. These supplies are specially formulated for use in our printers; use of non-Datamax supplies may affect the print
quality, performance, and life of the printer or its components.
For a current list of approved media and ribbons for use in direct thermal and thermal transfer applications, please contact a
Media Representative at (407) 523-5650.
