Loading Media From an External Supply

Loading Ribbon

30
You can place the media supply, such as fanfold tickets or tags, behind
the printer. The external supply can be used with tear-off (straight-
through) and cut-off printing.
Note: Make sure to protect the media from dust, dirt, or other foreign
particles that can impair the printout quality or cause unnecessary
wear to the printhead.
Fanfold Media Path
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.
