Your Label Writer printer is a direct thermal printer and does not use toner, ink cartridges, or a ribbon. Instead, it uses heat from a thermal print head to print on specially treated labels. Labels are the only supplies you will ever need to buy. Become familiar with the printer’s major components. See Figure 2.
