Operations and Maintenance Courses
Each Operations and Maintenance Course first introduces the student to various bar
code concepts and terminology. Topics include direct thermal/thermal transfer printing,
continuous and non-continuous media, thin film thermal printheads, and serial and
parallel communication interfaces. After completing this introductory material, the
student focuses on printer setup and configuration. Each student sets up a printer,
exercises its’ self-test diagnostics, and performs the preventive maintenance procedures
required to insure trouble free operation. Mechanical and electrical operations are
detailed through the disassembly and reassembly of the printer. Printer options
including Cutter, Rewind, Twinax and Coax Interfaces, and memory expansion are
installed and adjusted. Critical checks and alignments important to the proper operation
of the printer such as media and ribbon sensor sensitivity, spindle maintenance and
adjustments, printhead replacement and print quality alignments are discussed and
performed by our students. Troubleshooting techniques and common faults are
described and reviewed through hands-on exercises. To assist in troubleshooting
communications related problems an introduction to the Zebra Programming Language
(ZPL
®
and ZPL II
®
) is provided. Students review the general structure of ZPL and then
interface computers to the Zebra printers and follow a series of exercises which lead
them through the steps necessary create and print labels.
Zebra printer courses may be taken separately or bundled together to cover printer
families. The following table displays the course offerings currently available.
