Notes:
1. The bare core for the ribbon must be 11 cm in length. It should
have two opposite slits at two ends. If the ribbon itself is less
than 11 cm, it must be aligned with the bare core at the left end
when you install it.
2. Since this printer uses band buffer technology. If you just print
texts or barcodes the maximum length is more than 30 inches.
If you print many graphics the maximum length can only be a
few inches with standard onboard RAM. (Extension RAM, font
board and flash modules use the same connector and cannot
function at the same time.)
