  • the media 104 can include labels (e.g. on a backing web) , paper, or the like.
  • the media 104 is dispensed from a media supply 108, which in the illustrated example is a spool rotatably supported on a spindle 112 or other suitable support.

  • DT direct thermal
  • the printer 116 and the media supply are distinct components of the system 100. That is, the printer 116 itself does not contain a supply of the media 104, enabling a reduction in the footprint of the printer 116.
  • the printer 116 receives the media 104 at an inlet, and controls a platen roller to draw the media 104 through the printer 116 towards an outlet. Adjacent to the platen roller, the printer 116 includes a thermal print head, which the printer 116 controls to apply heat to the media 104 as the media 104 traverses a nip formed by the platen roller and the print head.
  • the printer 116 operates in a direct thermal mode, the media 104 itself can be thermochromic and therefore the application of heat by the print head can generate indicia on the media 104, before the media 104 exits the printer 116 via an outlet.
  • the system 100 also enables operation of the printer 116 in a thermal transfer mode.
  • the media 104 is non-thermochromic, and pigment is applied to the media 104 from a ribbon carrying ink.

  • the adapter 120 supports the above-mentioned ribbon.
  • the adapter 120 includes a supply roll 124 and a take-up roll 128 carrying the ribbon.
  • the ribbon travels from the supply roll 124, through the printer 116, to the take-up roll 128.
  • the ribbon traverses the above-mentioned nip formed by the platen roller and the print head together with the media 104. Heat applied by the print head causes ink from the ribbon to be deposited onto the media 104.
  • the adapter 120 therefore enables the printer 116 to be operated in a thermal transfer (TT) mode when installed, and in a DT mode when not installed. Operation in the TT mode may be employed to generate printed media with longer lifespans, greater print quality or the like. Operation in the DT mode may be employed to generate printed media with shorter lifespan and/or quality requirements. Further discussion of various structural features of the printer 116 and the adapter 120 is provided below.
