2.4 Loading Ribbon
Ribbons are only required for thermal transfer printing. You can use a wax, wax‐resin
or resin ribbon. The type of the ribbon and the media should match to each other to
get the proper print quality. The ribbon needs to be wider than or equal to the media
to protect the printhead from wear.
2.4.1 Preparing Ribbon
Remove the wrapping and the protective film of the ribbon. You will find two pairs of
ribbon cores in the printer package. One of them is for 0.5‐inch inner diameter
ribbon and the other is for 1‐inch. Install the applicable pair into the ribbon supply
roll and take‐up roll.
