SATO M-10e TT/DT Printers Service Manual
Section 1. Overview and Specifications
1.4 Ribbon
Use only SATO thermal transfer ribbons which were formulated expressly for use in all SATO
printers. Use of other then approved ribbons may result in unsatisfactory print quality and/or
damage to the print head and may void your warranty.
1.5 Installation Considerations
Printer operations can be affected by the printer environment. The location of the printer should
be free from dust, humidity and sudden vibrations. To obtain optimum results from the printer,
avoid locations influenced by:
• Direct or bright sunlight, since bright light will make the label sensor less responsive and
may cause the label to be sensed incorrectly.
• Warm temperatures which can cause electrical problems within the printer. (See Section 1.9
Physical, Power, Environmental, & Approvals).
