The EasyCoder F2 can print on labels, tickets, tags, and con-
tionuous stock using either direct thermal printing on special
heat-sensitive media or thermal transfer printing using a special
ink-coated ribbon. For thermal transfer printing, the printer must
be fi tted with a transfer ribbon mechanism.
Thermal transfer printing makes it possible to use a wide range
of receiving face materials. Make sure to select a type of ribbon
that matches the type of receiving face material (see Appendix
2, "Media Specifi cation") and to set up the printer properly (see
Chapter 6, "Setting Up the Printer").
The EasyCoder F2 can use transfer ribbon rolls wound with the
ink-coated side facing either outward or inward. Illustrations in
this manual show the ink-coated side facing inward.
Most transfer ribbons do not smear at room temperature.
