Media and Ribbon Requirements
Since print quality is affected by media and ribbon, printing speeds, and
printer operating modes, it is very important to run tests for your
applications.
We STRONGLY RECOMMEND the use of Zebra Technologies
Corporation-brand supplies for continuous high-quality printing. A wide
range of paper, polypropylene, polyester, and vinyl stock has been
specifically engineered to enhance the printing capabilities of the printer
and to ensure against premature printhead wear.
n
Continuous roll media, fanfold media, or card stock with optional
perforations and registration holes may be used.
n
Printhead life may be reduced by the abrasion of exposed paper fibers
when using perforated media.
n
The ribbon MUST be as wide as or wider than the media being used. If
the ribbon is narrower than the media, areas of the printhead will be
unprotected and subject to premature wear. (When printing in direct
thermal mode, ribbon is not used and should not be loaded in the
printer.)
Power Cord
WARNING! For personnel and equipment safety, always use a
three-prong plug with a ground (earth) connection.
NOTE: Depending on how your printer was ordered, a power cord may or
may not be included. If one is not included, or if the one included
is not suitable for your requirements, refer to
on page 92.
The power cord connector must be plugged into the mating connector on
the rear of the printer.
Make sure that the POWER on/off switch (located at the back of the printer)
is in the off position before connecting the power cable to an electrical
outlet.
