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.When using a 134 mm wide media, be sure to use a 130 mm wide ribbon. Use of other ribbons may cause ribbon wrinkles.
