3. Loading a Ribbon
There are two types of supplies:
Thermal Direct specially treated thermal supplies that don’t use a ribbon for printing.
Thermal Transfer standard supplies that require a ribbon for printing.
NOTE: DO NOT load a ribbon when printing on thermal direct supplies.
When installing a ribbon, remember
•Ribbons may catch on supplies left in place.
•Supplies can misalign the ribbon as you move the supply up to the feed mark.
•The width of your ribbon must closely match the width of your supply.
To install a ribbon roll, refer to "Loading a Ribbon Roll," later in this chapter. To install a ribbon cassette, refer to "Loading a Ribbon Cassette," later in this chapter.
