the transfer ribbon should be antistatic.
The use of wrong materials can lead to printer malfunctions and the guarantee can expire.

(97.20.002).
The handling instructions for the use of Isopropanol (IPA) must be observed. In the case of skin or eye contact,

NOTICE!
For the thermal transfer printing method it is necessary to load a ribbon, otherwise when using the printer in direct
thermal print it is not necessary to load a ribbon. The ribbons used in the printer have to be at least the same width as
the print media. In case the ribbon is narrower than the print media, the printhead is partly unprotected and this could
lead to early wear and tear.
CAUTION!
Impact of static material on people!

Use antistatic transfer ribbon, because static discharge can occur when removing.
