Chapter 5 — Loading Ribbon for Thermal Transfer Printing

Loading Ribbon
The EasyCoder PX4i printer can print on labels, tickets, tags, and
continuous stock using either direct thermal printing on special
heat-sensitive media or thermal transfer printing using a special
ink-coated ribbon.
Thermal transfer printing makes it possible to use a wide range of
receiving face materials and gives a durable printout less
vulnerable to fat, chemicals, heat, sunlight etc. than direct
thermal printing. Make sure to select a type of ribbon that
matches the type of receiving face material and to set up the
printer accordingly.
The EasyCoder PX4i printer can use transfer ribbon rolls wound
with the ink-coated side facing either outward or inward.
Illustrations in this manual show the ink-coated side facing
inward.
Ribbon is usually loaded in connection with media
replenishment, but loaded media is not shown in the illustrations
in this chapter in order to give a clearer view of the ribbon path.
For media load instructions, see “Loading Media” on page 23.
Most transfer ribbons do not smear at room temperature.
