Site Requirements
CAUTION: To ensure that the S-Series Printer has proper ventilation
and cooling, do not place any padding or cushioning material on the
back of or underneath the unit because this will restrict the air flow.
The S-Series Printer may be installed on any solid, level surface of suf-
ficient size and strength to accommodate the unit. The area in which the
printer will operate must meet the environmental conditions specified.
Since the Zebra S-Series Printer was designed and is fabricated as an
industrial-type unit, it will function satisfactorily in areas such as a ware-
house or factory floor that conform to the specified environmental and
electrical conditions.
Ribbon Loading (105Se)
Refer to Figure 2.4 throughout this procedure.
Note: When placing the ribbon roll on the Ribbon Supply Spindle,
make sure that the core is pushed up against the stop on the
ribbon supply spindle and that the ribbon is aligned squarely
with its core. If this is not done, the ribbon may not cover the
inside edge of the printhead, exposing print elements to
potentially damaging contact with the media.
Note: Do not load ribbon if the printer is to be used in the Direct
Thermal Mode.
CAUTION: Do not use ribbon that is narrower than the media. If the
printhead is not protected by the smooth backing of the ribbon, exces-
sive abrasion may cause premature printhead failure.
1. Align the segments of the Ribbon Supply Spindle. See Figure 2.2.
