Quantity and yield
200 wristbands per roll, 5 rolls per box, 1,000 wristbands in total.
Installation
Place the roll on the spindles in the printer, print side up, feed the leading edge under the guides and close the cover; run the calibration (automatic detection on most models). No ribbon to install: select the media type and length in the driver or software.
Usage and advice
The BWE-AB279PW is for stores, laboratories, healthcare facilities and warehouses equipped with TD printers: patient wristbands printed at admission by direct thermal, with no ink to manage.
Tips: thermal paper darkens with heat and UV; keep the rolls in their packaging, away from light, heat and moisture, and use them within two years. Direct thermal prints stay legible for several years indoors; for long archiving or outdoor exposure, prefer thermal transfer. Clean the printhead with isopropyl alcohol at every roll change.
