Zebra G-Series printers
The G-Series ribbon-sensing mechanism requires the 1.
ribbon to have a reflective trailer. As such, the uni-
ribbon format should be used for GK420t™, GX420t™
and GX430t™ printers whenever they are being used in
the thermal-transfer mode of operation.
The inverted ribbon mechanism of the G-Series printers 2.
is different from that of the thermal-transfer 28-series,
but it enables a far easier and quicker process. Refer to
the ribbon-loading instructions in the relevant printer’s
user guide for full instructions.
