4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Printing Modes: Thermal Transfer vs. Direct Thermal

The SRS406T offers two printing modes:

• Direct Thermal: This method uses heat-sensitive labels that darken when heated by the print head. No ribbon is required. Ideal for temporary labels like shipping labels or receipts.
• Thermal Transfer: This method uses a ribbon that is melted onto the label by the print head, creating a durable, long-lasting print. Suitable for permanent labels, product identification, or asset tracking.

Ensure the correct printing mode is selected in your printer settings to match the type of labels and ribbon (if any) you are using.
