Paxar 9445 Printer User Manual


 
3. Loading a Ribbon
There are two types of supplies:
Thermal Direct
specially treated thermal supplies that
don’t use a ribbon for printing.
Thermal Transfer
standard supplies that require a ribbon
for printing.
NOTE: DO NOT
load a ribbon when printing on thermal direct
supplies.
When installing a ribbon, remember
Ribbons may catch on supplies left in place.
Supplies can misalign the ribbon as you move the
supply up to the feed mark.
The width of your ribbon must closely match the width
of your supply.
To install a ribbon roll, refer to "Loading a Ribbon Roll," later in
this chapter. To install a ribbon cassette, refer to "Loading a
Ribbon Cassette," later in this chapter.
