Feeding Media Through the Lower Slot
The printer can perform direct thermal printing on special heat-
sensitive media or thermal transfer printing on special ink-coated
ribbon. The printer can use transfer ribbon rolls wound with the ink-
coated side facing either outward or inward.
Thermal transfer printing lets you use a wide range of receiving face
materials and provides a durable printout that is less vulnerable to
external influences, such as oil, chemicals, heat, and sunlight than
direct thermal printing. Make sure to select ribbon that matches the
type of receiving face material and set up the printer accordingly.
