Notes : 
1. The bare core for ribbon must be 11 cm in length. It should
have two opposite slits at two ends. If the ribbon itself is 
less than 11 cm, it has to be aligned with the bare core at 
left end when you install it. 
2. Since this printer uses band buffer technology, if you just
print texts or barcodes the maximum length can be more 
than 30 inches, whereas if you print many graphics the 
maximum length can only be few inches under standard 
onboard RAM.(The extension RAM, font board and flash 
modules use the same connector, they cannot function at 
the same time.)
