Thermal Printing
You must use the correct media for the type of printing you require. When printing without a
ribbon, you must use direct thermal media. When using ribbon, you must use thermal transfer
media. The printer’s ribbon sensor detects motion of the supply spindle.
Caution • The print head becomes hot while printing. To protect from damaging the print
head and risk of personal injury, avoid touching the print head. Use only the cleaning pen
to perform maintenance.
Caution • The discharge of electrostatic energy that accumulates on the surface of the
human body or other surfaces can damage or destroy the print head or electronic
components used in this device. You must observe static-safe procedures when working
with the print head or the electronic components under the top cover.
