NOTES: 
1.  To ensure print quality and print head life use only TOSHIBA TEC approved media. 
2.  When using a media roll of 76.2-mm (3”) inner core  diameter, the 3”-Diameter Media Shaft included in 
the optional External Medi a Roll Hanger is required. 
3.  Precaution for use of labels 
  When labels are used for printing,  please only use outside wound labels. 
  Use of an inside wound l abel causes a paper jam.

NOTES: 
1.  Be sure not to print on the 1.5-mm wide area  from the media edges (shaded area in the above figure). 
2.  The centre of media  should be positioned at the c entre of the print head. 
3.  Print quality is not guaranteed within 3 mm from  the print head stop position (including 1-mm slow-up.) 
4.  Average print (black) rate should be 15% or less.    For bar code print area, the print rate should be 30% 
or less. 
5.  Line weight should be 3 to 12 dots.

NOTES: 
1.  To ensure print quality and print head life  use only TOSHIBA TEC specified ribbons.     
2.  Too much difference in width between media  and ribbon may cause ribbon wrinkles. To avoid ribbon 
wrinkles use a ribbon for proper media width shown  in the above table. Do not use a ribbon that is 
narrower than media. 
3.  When discarding ribbons, please follow the local rule.
