use: direct thermal (no ribbon) or thermal transfer (using thermal transfer media and
ribbon).
Press either oval to display choices.
Default: Thermal transfer
Selections: Thermal transfer, direct thermal
Note • Selecting direct thermal when using thermal transfer media and ribbon creates
a printer error condition, but printing continues.
