NOTES:

1.Be sure not to print on the 1.5-mm wide area from the media edges (shaded area in the above figure). Printing this area may cause ribbon wrinkles, resulting in a poor print quality of the guaranteed print area.

2.The centre of media is positioned at the centre of the Print Head.

3.Print quality in the 3-mm area from the print head stop position (including 1-mm non-printable area for print speed slow down) is not guaranteed.

NOTES:

1.To ensure print quality and print head life use only TOSHIBA TEC specified ribbons.

2.To avoid ribbon wrinkles use a ribbon that is wider than the media by 5 mm or more. However, too much difference in width between the two may cause wrinkles.

3.You can use a ribbon that is narrower than the media by 5 mm or more, however, this makes the print area narrower.
