Ribbon
The media determines whether you need to use ribbon and determines the minimum
width of the ribbon. Consider the following:
•
Thermal transfer — ribbon needed.
The ribbon must be as wide as or wider than the media being used. If the ribbon is
narrower than the media, areas of the printhead are unprotected and subject to
premature wear.
•
Direct thermal transfer — no ribbon needed.
When printing in direct thermal mode, ribbon is not used and should not be loaded
in the printer.
