Media and ribbon specifications, sensors, dimensions (285 x 171 x 226 mm), and the 2.72 kg weight are the same on all four models. If you attach it to one PC by USB, the NB010 is enough.

Print method by label material

Art paper, YUPO, PET, and matte silver polyester (Tetoron) labels are printed thermal transfer with a ribbon loaded. Direct thermal paper and YUPO direct thermal media are set to direct thermal on the media, without a ribbon.

The art paper labels offered with the NB010 range from the smallest, 21 x 12 mm, up to 100 x 55 mm; for sizes, contact Wooju OA (info@woojuoa.co.kr, +82-2-703-0332).

Media width 118 mm and print width 108 mm

Accepted media width is 25.4-118 mm, and the width the head prints is 108 mm. If you load 118 mm wide media, 10 mm is outside the print area.

Media thickness is 0.06-0.25 mm, and rolls up to 127 mm OD fit inside the unit. Larger rolls go on the external holder (optional), which takes rolls up to 250 mm OD.

Reading errors from the three-color indicator

The NB010 control panel consists of just one indicator that changes among green, amber, and red and one FEED button. Errors are distinguished by color and the number of blinks.
