Loading Thermal Transfer Ribbon

If you plan to use thermal transfer mode, you must install a thermal transfer ribbon (TTR) to print in thermal transfer mode.

Note: Save the packaging that your ribbon came in. Attached to the ribbon packaging is a small label with a three-digit sensitivity number printed on it (Intermec ribbon only). You need this information to set the correct media sensitivity number. Refer to the next section “Setting the Media Sensitivity Number” for more information.
