Feeding Media Through the Lower Slot
Loading Ribbon
The printer can perform direct thermal printing on special heat-sensitive media or
thermal transfer printing on special ink-coated ribbon. The printer can use transfer
ribbon rolls wound with the ink-coated side facing either outward or inward.
Thermal transfer printing lets you use a wide range of receiving face materials and
provides a durable printout that is less vulnerable to external influences, such as
oil, chemicals, heat, and sunlight than direct thermal printing. Make sure to select
ribbon that matches the type of receiving face material and set up the printer
accordingly.
To load ribbon for thermal transfer printing
1. Open the front door and media cover.
