surfaces. They have good “smear resistance” and are most
suitable for intricate logotypes and images on matte-coated
papers and synthetic face materials.
• High Resistance (HR/TMX 3200) transfer ribbons give an
extremely durable printout, which is resistant to most
chemical agents and high temperatures. However, such
transfer ribbons set high demands on the receiving face
material, which must be very smooth, such as polyesters.
The use of HR/TMX 3200 ribbons requires the print speed
and the energy supplied by the printhead to be controlled
with great accuracy according to the receiving face material.
Custom-made setup options adapted for special applications
can also be created. Consult your Intermec distributor.
Bar Code Directions
In the tables on the pages that follow, different maximum print
speeds may be recommended depending on the direction of
possible bar codes in the printout. Generally, ladder style bar
codes are more demanding and may require a lower print speed,
especially in connection with a large media roll and/or negative
start adjust values (see “Print Speed” on page 64). The
illustration below shows how the two type of bar code directions
relate to the media feed direction.
Note: Intermec thermal transfer ribbons are engineered
specifically for the EasyCoder printheads.
