2.1 Installation Considerations
Printer operation can be affected by the printer environment. The
location of the printer should be free from dust, humidity, and sud-
den vibrations. To obtain optimum results from the printer, avoid
locations influenced by:
• Direct or bright sunlight since bright light will make the label sen-
sor less responsive and may cause the label to be sensed incor-
rectly.
• Warm temperatures which can cause electrical problems within
the printer.
2.2 Ribbon
Use only SATO thermal transfer ribbons which were formulated
expressly for use in all SATO printers. Use of other than approved
ribbons may result in unsatisfactory print quality and/or damage to
the print head and may void your warranty.
