Loading Thermal Transfer Ribbon
Thermal transfer printing gives you a durable printout that is less
vulnerable to chemicals, heat, sunlight and so on than direct thermal
printing. Make sure you select a ribbon type that matches the media
you are using and configure the printer for thermal transfer paper.
The printer supports thermal transfer ribbon rolls with the ink-coated
side facing either inward or outward. To determine which type of
ribbon you have, use a pen or other sharp object to scratch through
the ribbon against a piece of paper. If you see a mark on the paper,
your ribbon is wound ink out.
