Switching Between RESIN and Semi-RESIN Ink Ribbons
There are two types of ink ribbons: RESIN and Semi-RESIN.
• RESIN (Resin-type) ......................
RP120-***
• Semi-RESIN (Wax-type) ..............
WD120-***
Refer to the previous section "Types and Characteristics of Ink Ribbons" regarding ribbon types.
The ribbon cassette contains a head pressure adjustment plate whose position is switched depending on the type of
ink ribbon used.
Switch the position of the head pressure adjustment plate in accordance with the ink ribbon used.
Should the position of the head pressure adjustment plate and the ink ribbon type be inconsistent,
printing quality may be adversely affected.
