Load External Media
You can place the media supply, such as fanfold tickets or tags, behind the printer.
You need to purchase an external media holder separately.
Note: Protect the media from direct sunlight and from dust, dirt, or other foreign particles
that can impair the printout quality or cause unnecessary wear to the printhead.
1. Place the media behind the printer.
2. Feed the media into the printer through the external media feed slot.
3. Thread the media through the printer and adjust the media holders and sensor
as you would for media that loads inside the printer.
Load Ribbon
You must use thermal transfer ribbon to print on thermal transfer media. Make
sure to select ribbon that matches the face materials of the media to obtain the
best durability and print quality.
