Loading Media Into the Printer
The printer can print on rolls of or fanfold thermal transfer or direct
thermal media. The default setting for the printer is direct thermal mode.
However, the sample media that shipped with the printer is thermal
transfer. If you are using thermal transfer media, you need to load thermal
transfer ribbon and change the media type setting. For help loading the
ribbon, see “Loading Thermal Transfer Ribbon” later in this chapter. To
change the media type setting, see “Configuring the Serial Port for
Communications” in Chapter 2.
Note:
You should find a small label with a three-digit sensitivity number
printed on it attached to the roll of media or a 15 digit number stamped
on the side of the media roll. Save this information. You will need it to set
the correct media sensitivity number. For help, see “Setting the Media
Sensitivity Number” later in this chapter.
