Ribbon can be wound with the coated side on the inside or outside. The ribbon used must
match the Thermal Transfer option installed. The standard Thermal Transfer option (black
ribbon spindle) uses ribbon coated on the outside, and the alternate Thermal Transfer option
(gray ribbon spindle, available on the ZM400 and RZ400 only) uses ribbon coated on the
inside. If you are unsure which side of a particular roll of ribbon is coated, perform an adhesive
test or a ribbon scratch test to determine which side is coated.
Adhesive Test
If you have labels available, perform the adhesive test to determine which side of a ribbon is
coated. This method works well for ribbon that is already installed.
To perform an adhesive test, complete these steps:
1. Peel a label from its liner.
2. Press a corner of the sticky side of the label to the outer surface of the roll of ribbon.
3. Peel the label off of the ribbon.
4. Observe the results. Did flakes or particles of ink from the ribbon adhere to the label?
Ribbon Scratch Test
Perform the ribbon scratch test when labels are unavailable.
To perform a ribbon scratch test, complete these steps:
1. Unroll a short length of ribbon.
2. Place the unrolled section of ribbon on a piece of paper with the outer surface of the
ribbon in contact with the paper.
If ink from the ribbon... Then...
Adhered to the label The ribbon is coated on the outside and can be
used in this printer.
Did not adhere to the label The ribbon is coated on the inside and cannot
be used in this printer.
To verify this, repeat the test on the other
surface of the roll of ribbon.
Adhered to the label The ribbon is coated on the outside and can be
used with the standard Thermal Transfer
option (black ribbon spindle). In the ribbon
loading procedure, instructions are marked
with this symbol.
Did not adhere to the label The ribbon is coated on the inside and can be
used with the alternate Thermal Transfer
option (gray ribbon spindle). In the ribbon
