There are two types of media available for printing on, these are standard media and direct thermal media
(a chemically treated surface). DO NOT LOAD a ribbon when using a direct thermal media.

ribbon stoppers by 90°, push them back to the correct position and then rotate back to lock.
NOTE: When attaching the ribbon stoppers, fit them to the shafts with the pinchers facing into the printer.
