Well, it depends whether you'll use the printer as a Direct Thermal printer or as a thermal transfer printer. If it'll be a direct thermal printer, then you can use any direct thermal labels (up to 4" wide, which is the with of the printhead on the Datamax I-4208) without the need for any ribbons. If it'll be a thermal transfer printer, you can use thermal transfer labels, which would need ribbons. As for the kinds, you have a huge variety, you can use paper-based labels, synthetic labels (PPE, Vinyl, Tyvek, belt tags, jewelry tags), and even some kinds of card stock and satin.

Any Thermal Transfer or Direct Thermal label on a 3" i.d. roll with maximum o.d. of 8" and label width between 1" - 4". Thermal transfer labels require appropriate ribbon.

You probably need to adjust the leveling cam if you have not done so already. This is the green thumbscrew near the print mechanism.

probably a bad or very dirty sensor - use compressed air to blow out the sensors (look in the user manual to locate the sensors)

SOURCE: why wont my datamax 4208 printer read the same

It will read and print the label format, but you need to download and choose a different driver for the other printer. Seagull Scientific makes the drivers for Datamax, so visit their site for the most recent versions. you will need to open your label format in your software, duplicate the label format and choose the new driver for the I-4212.
