About the Ribbon
Thermal transfer printing provides a durable printout that is less vulnerable to
chemicals, heat, and sunlight than direct thermal printing. Select a ribbon type
that matches the media you are using and configure the printer for thermal
transfer media.
The printer supports thermal transfer ribbon rolls with the ink-coated side facing
either inward or outward. To determine which type of ribbon you have, place the
ribbon on a piece of paper as shown, and use a pen or other sharp object to scratch
the ribbon. If you see a mark on the paper, your ribbon is wound ink out.
Load 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.
