1.10 Installation Considerations
Use only SATO thermal transfer ribbons which were formulated expressly for use in all
SATO printers. Use of other than approved ribbons may result unsatisfactory print quality
and/or damage to the print head and may void your warranty.
Printer operation can be affected by the printer environment. The location of the printer
should be free from dust, humidity and sudden vibrations. To obtain optimum results from
the printer module, avoid locations influenced by:
 Direct or bright sunlight since bright light will make the label sensor less responsive and
may cause the label to be sensed incorrectly.
 Excessive warm or cold temperatures can cause electrical problems within the printer.
