Approved Media - Datamax EX2 User Manual

Approved Media

To achieve optimum print quality and maximum printhead life, Datamax specifies the use of DATAMAX
media. These supplies are specially formulated for use in our printers; use of non-Datamax supplies may affect the
print quality, performance, and life of the printer or its components.
For a current list of approved media for use in direct thermal applications, please contact a Media Representative at
(407) 523-5650.
