About the Ink Ribbon and Paper
Two types of ribbon and two types of paper are used: one type of each for the Dye Sublimation Printing System and the Variable Dot Printing System. When the ribbon and paper are changed, the printer automatically selects the corresponding system. Of course the type of ribbon and the type of paper must both correspond to the same printing system. The relationship between the printing systems and types of ribbon and paper are as follows:
Ribbon Dye Sublimation System A3++ UPR-9510 A4++ UPR-9511 Variable Dot System A3++ UPR-9550 A4++ UPR-9551 Paper A3++ UPP-9510 A4++ UPP-9511 A3++ UPP-9550 A4++ UPP-9551
