Approved Media
To achieve optimum print quality and maximum printhead life, Datamax-O’Neil specifies the use of
Datamax-O’Neil brand media and ribbons. These supplies are specially formulated for use in our
printers; use of non-Datamax-O’Neil supplies may affect the print quality, performance, and life of
the printer or its components.
For a current list of approved media and ribbons for use in direct thermal and thermal transfer
applications, please contact a Media Representative at (407) 523-5650.
