Load Transfer Ribbon
NOTICE!
For the thermal transfer printing method it is necessary to load a ribbon, otherwise when using the printer in direct
thermal print it is not necessary to load a ribbon. The ribbons used in the printer have to be at least the same width
as the print media. In case the ribbon is narrower than the print media, the printhead is partly unprotected and this
could lead to early wear and tear.
NOTICE!
Before a new transfer ribbon roll is loaded, the printhead must be cleaned using printhead and roller cleaner
(97.20.002).
The handling instructions for the use of Isopropanol (IPA) must be observed. In the case of skin or eye contact,
immediately wash off the fluid thoroughly with running water. If the irritation persists, consult a doctor. Ensure
good ventilation.
