Thermal Transfer Printing
The EasyCoder 501 E can print on labels, tickets, tags, and
contionuous stock using either direct thermal printing on special
heat-sensitive media or thermal transfer printing using a special
ink-coated ribbon. For thermal transfer printing, the printer must be
fi tted with a transfer ribbon mechanism.
Thermal transfer printing makes it possible to use a wide range of
receiving face materials. Make sure to select a type of ribbon that
matches the type of receiving face material (see Appendix 2, “Media
Specifi cation”) and to set up the printer properly (see Chapter 7,
“Setting Up the Printer”).
The EasyCoder 501 E can only use transfer ribbon rolls wound with
the ink-coated side facing inwards.
Most transfer ribbons do not smear at room temperature.
