The EasyCoder F4 can print on labels, tickets, tags, and contionuous
stock using either direct thermal printing on special heat-sensitive
media or thermal transfer printing using a special ink-coated ribbon.
For thermal transfer printing, the printer must be fitted with a
transfer ribbon mechanism.
Thermal transfer printing makes it possible to use a wide range of
receiving face materials. Make sure to select a type of ribbon that
matches the type of receiving face material (see Appendix 2, "Media
Specifi cation") and to set up the printer properly (see Chapter 7,
"Setting Up the Printer.")
The EasyCoder F4 can use transfer ribbon rolls wound with the
ink-coated side facing either outward or inward. Illustrations in this
manual show the ink-coated side facing inward.
Most transfer ribbons do not smear at room temperature.
