3. Loading a Ribbon
There are two types of supplies:
Thermal Direct specially treated thermal supplies that
don’t use a ribbon for printing.
Thermal Transfer standard supplies that require a ribbon
for printing.
NOTE: DO NOT load a ribbon when printing on thermal direct
supplies.
When installing a ribbon, remember
•
Ribbons may catch on supplies left in place.
•
Supplies can misalign the ribbon as you move the
supply up to the feed mark.
•
The width of your ribbon must closely match the width
of your supply.
To install a ribbon roll, refer to "Loading a Ribbon Roll," later in
this chapter. To install a ribbon cassette, refer to "Loading a
Ribbon Cassette," later in this chapter.
