Approved Media
To achieve optimum print quality and maximum printhead life, Datamax specifies the use of DATAMAX
®

media. These supplies are specially formulated for use in our printers; use of non-Datamax supplies may affect the
print quality, performance, and life of the printer or its components.
For a current list of approved media for use in direct thermal applications, please contact a Media Representative at
