The PA30 can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous stock
using thermal transfer printing with a special ink-coated ribbon.
The PA30 can use transfer ribbon rolls wound with the ink-
coated side facing either outward or inward. Illustrations in this
section show the ink-coated side facing inward, and media is
omitted from the illustrations for clarity.
Note: By default, the PA30 is configured to use an 83-mm
diameter ribbon. To use larger diameter ribbon (such as 90-mm),
you need to send the SYSVAR(53)=90 Fingerprint command to
the PA30.
For more information on using Fingerprint with the PA30, see
"Programming Applications for the PA30" on page 40.
For more information on all Fingerprint commands, see the
Intermec Fingerprint v8.xx Programmer's Reference Manual.
