Printer Specifications
in accordance with ANSI Standard X3A.182. Actual ribbon life may
vary depending upon the user quality criteria, printer condition,
machine settings, paper quality, and bar code requirements. Label
yield depends on label format, bar code symbology, and other
parameters. Label yield with high-performance scanning equipment
may exceed these yields. Use only the ribbons listed below.
