7. SUPPLY SPECIFICATIONS ENGLISH VERSION EO1-33094 7.2 Ribbon E7-9 Positional Relationship between Core and Ribbon NOTE: Wind the ink ribbon so that the ribbon center aligns with the core center. Fig. 3: Connection between Leader Tape and Ribbon NOTES on using ribbon: If the difference between the ribbon width and the paper width is too large, the ribbon may wrinkle. Refer to the table below and choose the paper appropriate to the ribbon width. Even if the ribbon is narrower than paper, printing can be performed. However, it results in the narrower print range. B-EX4T Type2 series Ribbon width 41mm 50mm 68mm 84ｍｍ 112ｍｍ Appropriate paper width 30 to 36 mm 36 to 45 mm 45 to 63 mm 63 to 79 mm 79 to 108 mm The ribbon tension adjustment may be further required according to the ribbon width. In the case a narrower width of the ribbon is used, if the ribbon tension is strong, the ribbon will wrinkle. According to the print patterns, fine adjustment of the ribbon take-up motor is required. As a guide, regardless of the print speed, it should be set to “-3” (FW) and “-1” (BK) for 68-mm wide ribbon, and “-4” (FW) and “-2” (BK) for 50-mm wide or less ribbon, respectively.

7. SUPPLY SPECIFICATIONS ENGLISH VERSION EO1-33094 7.4 Care/Handling of Media and Ribbon E7-17 7.4 Care/Handling of Media and Ribbon • Do not store the media or ribbon for longer than the manufacturer’s recommended shelf life. • Store media rolls on the flat end. Do not store them on the curved sides as this might flatten that side causing erratic media advance and poor print quality. • Store the media in plastic bags and always reseal after opening. Unprotected media can get dirty and the extra abrasion from the dust and dirt particles will shorten the print head life. • Store the media and ribbon in a cool, dry place. Avoid areas where they would be exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature, high humidity, dust or gas. • The thermal paper used for direct thermal printing must not have specifications which exceed Na + 800 ppm, K+ 250 ppm and Cl- 500 ppm. • Some ink used on pre-printed media may contain ingredients which shorten the print head’s product life. Do not use labels pre-printed with ink which contain hard substances such as carbonic calcium (CaCO 3) and kaolin (Al2O3, 2SiO2, 2H2O). For further information, please contact your local distributor or your media and ribbon manufacturers. CAUTION! Be sure to carefully review and understand the Supply Manual. Use only media and ribbons that meet specified requirements. Use of non-specified media and ribbons may shorten the head life and result in problems with bar code readability or print quality. All media and ribbons should be handled with care to avoid any damage to the media, ribbons or printer. Read the guidelines in this section carefully.
