Chapter 2 — Installing the Printer
Loading Thermal Transfer Ribbon (PF8t Only)
20
Thermal transfer ribbons are required when you print on thermal
transfer (non-heat-sensitive) media. The type of transfer ribbon you
use should match the face materials of the media to obtain the best
durability and print quality.
Note: The PF8t can use only ribbons that are "wind direction out",
meaning the ribbon is loaded with the inked side (dull side) facing out.
Using thermal transfer ribbons that are "wind direction in", meaning
the inked side is on the inside, cannot be loaded properly into the PF8t
and may result in damage to the rewind motor.
To load a thermal transfer ribbon roll
1 Press the cover open buttons on both sides of the case to open the
top cover. Fold the cover upwards and rearwards.
2 Press the green release tabs at the bottom of the top cover on both
sides of the printhead.
