The CodeWriter 4500 Series Printers offer Thermal Transfer and Direct Thermal
print methods. Thermal Transfer printers use a ribbon which transfers ink to the label
during the printing process. Direct Thermal printers use specially treated labels that
darken in the heated areas while printing.

Printer models with thermal transfer capability will print using thermal transfer or
direct thermal media. Direct thermal printer models will only print using direct
thermal media.
