Winding method
 Use a ribbon to match the width of the media (base). Too small a ribbon width makes the printable width small.
Conversely, too large a ribbon width could cause the ribbon to be wrinkled. Use a ribbon wider than the media
(base) by at least 5 mm (0.20") as indicated below.
Media width
Ribbon width
* When a wristband is used, the minimum media width is 15 mm (0.59").
 Cores with notches can also be used.
 For cores with an inner diameter of 12.7 mm (0.5") and for 25.4 mm (1.0") cores for domestic use
- Align the center of the ribbon with the center of the core and wind the ribbon with the ink side [A] outside.
- Make sure that the misalignment between the centers of the ribbon and the core is within ±1 mm (0.04").
