The table below shows the correlation between ribbon width and media width (backing paper is not included.)

Ribbon width		Media width
60 mm	25	– 55 mm
90 mm	55	– 85 mm
110 mm	85	– 105 mm

NOTES:

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

2.Too much difference in width between media and ribbon may cause ribbon wrinkles. To avoid ribbon wrinkles use a ribbon for proper media width shown in the above table. Do not use a ribbon that is narrower than media.

3.When discarding ribbons, please follow the local rule.

7.3 Recommended Media and Ribbon Types

Media type	Description
Vellum paper and labels	General use for low cost applications.
Coated paper	Matt coated paper
	General use including applications that require small letters and/or symbols.
	Glossy coated paper
	Used where a high-grade finish is required
Plastic films	Synthetic film (Polypropylene, etc.)
	This water-proof and solvent-resistant material has high physical strength
	and low-temperature resistance, but poor heat resistance (dependant upon
	material). This material can be used for labels stuck to recyclable
	containers, so it can be recycled in the same process.
	PET film
	This water-proof and solvent-resistant material has high physical strength,
	and low-temperature resistance as well as heat resistance. This material is
	used for many applications, especially where high durability is required.
	Mode/serial plate labels, caution labels, etc.
	Polyimide
	This material gives the best performance on heat resistance (greater than
	PET film). It is often used for PCB labels as it can withstand passage
	through a solder bath.
