OTES:
1. Be sure not to print on the 1.5-mm wide area from the media edges (shaded area in the above figure).
Printing this area may cause ribbon wrinkles, resulting in a poor print quality of the guaranteed print area.
2. The centre of media is positioned at the centre of the Print Head.
3. Print quality in the 3-mm area from the print head stop position (including 1-mm non-printable area for print
speed slow down) is not guaranteed.
N
OTES:
1. To ensure print quality and print head life use only TOSHIBA TEC specified ribbons.
2. To avoid ribbon wrinkles use a ribbon that is wider than the media by 5 mm or more. However, too much
difference in width between the two may cause wrinkles.
3. When using a 134 mm wide media, be sure to use a 130 mm wide ribbon. Use of other ribbons may cause
ribbon wrinkles.
