Both models of the PF8 printers can print on direct thermal
media. The PF8t can also print on thermal transfer media
such as self-adhesive labels, non-adhesive tags, or
continuous stock. Printing on thermal transfer media also
requires a thermal transfer ribbon.
There are three ways to handle media on the PF8 printers:
• Tear-off (straight-through) media is fed out the front of
the printers and is torn off by pulling it upwards against
the edge of the top cover.
• Cut-off media requires an optional paper cutter fitted on
the front of the printer. The cutter is not designed to cut
through adhesive; adhesive sticks to the cutting shears
and prevents the cutter from operating.
• Peel-off (self-strip) media are self-adhesive labels that are
automatically separated from the label backing after
printing. Peel-Off media cannot be used with the cutter
option.
