2.8.1 Precautions
1
Depending on the operating temperature or print patterns, ribbon
wrinkles or blurred printing may occur. To solve this problem,
adjust the print density as follows:
• When the ribbons wrinkle, decrease the print density.
• When the blurred printing occurs, increase the print density.
To change the print density, see Section 3.7.2 for more detail.
2
When using the Cold Release Ribbons in high temperature (about
105°F/40°C), the sound of the ribbon being separated from the media
may be heard. But that does not impact upon print quality.
Notes:
• Please see Section 1.4.2 for the part
illustrations.
• Installing the Cool Release
Enhancement Kit allows a variety
of ribbons to be loaded.
