The EasyCoder 501 XP can print labels, tickets, tags, and con-
tinuous stock using either direct thermal printing on special
heat-sensitive media or thermal transfer printing using a special
ink-coated ribbon.
Thermal transfer printing makes it possible to use a wide range
of receiving face material. Make sure to select a type of transfer
ribbon that matches the type of receiving face material (see
Appendix 2, "Media Specifi cations") and to set up the printer
properly (see Chapter 6, "Setting Up the Printer.")
The EasyCoder 501 XP can only use transfer ribbon rolls wound
with the ink-coated side facing inwards.
Most transfer ribbons do not smear at room temperature.
