Approved Media
To achieve optimum print quality and maximum printhead life, we recommend
the use of our brand media and ribbons. These supplies are specially formulated
for use in our printers; use of other 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 contact your Media Representative.
