Flat Type Printhead - Load Transfer Ribbon

NOTICE!
For the thermal transfer printing method it is necessary to load a ribbon, otherwise when using the printing system
in direct thermal print it is not necessary to load a ribbon. The ribbons used in the printing system 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.
