Thermal transfer printing makes it possible to use a wide range of
receiving face materials and gives a durable printout that is less
vulnerable to fat, chemicals, heat, sunlight and so on than direct
thermal printing. Make sure to select a ribbon type that matches
the type of receiving material and set up the printer accordingly.
The ribbon is normally loaded at the same time as a new media
roll. For clarity, the following illustrations do not show the media
roll. See the previous sections for information on how to load
media for your type of operation.
