a control panel light (see Contr ol Pan e l In di ca tor Lights on page 23).
•In Pause mode, the printer stops printing temporarily.
•In Setup mode, you can use the control panel LCD to view or modify printer parameters
(see Control Panel Parameters on page 71).
•In Error mode, the LCD may display an alert or error message (see LCD Error Messages
on page 147).

Handling the Printer
This section describes how to handle your printer.
Unpack and Inspect the Printer
When you receive the printer, immediately unpack it and inspect for shipping damage.
• Save all packing materials.
• Check all exterior surfaces for damage.
• Raise the media door, and inspect the media compartment for damage to components.
If you discover shipping damage upon inspection:
• Immediately notify the shipping company and file a damage report.
• Keep all packaging material for shipping company inspection.
• Notify your authorized Zebra reseller
Important • Zebra Technologies is not responsible for any damage incurred during the
shipment of the equipment and will not repair this damage under warranty.

Store the Printer
If you are not placing the printer into immediate operation, repackage it using the original
packing materials. You may store the printer under the conditions shown in Table 3.
TemperatureRelative Humidity
–40°F to 140°F (–40° to 60°C)5% to 85% non-condensing
Ship the Printer
If you must ship the printer:
• Turn off (O) the printer, and disconnect all cables.
• Remove any media, ribbon, or loose objects from the printer interior.
• Close the printhead.
• Carefully pack the printer into the original container or a suitable alternate container to
avoid damage during transit. A shipping container can be purchased from Zebra if the
original packaging has been lost or destroyed.

Select a Site for the Printer
Select a Site for the Printer
Consider the following whe n selecting an appropriate location for your printer.
Select a Surface
Select a solid, level surface of sufficient size and strength to accommodate the printer and
other equipment (such as a computer), if necessary. The choices include a table, countertop,
desk, or cart. For the printer’s weight and dimensions, see General Specifications on page 198.
Provide Proper Operating Conditions
This printer is designed to function in a wide range of environmental and electrical conditions,
including a warehouse or factory floor. For more information on the required conditions, see
General Specifications on page 198.
Table 4 shows the temperature and relative humidity requirements for the printer when it is
operating.

Direct Thermal32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C)20 to 85% non-condensing
Allow Proper Space
The printer should have enough space around it for you to be able to open the media door. To
allow for proper ventilation and cooling, leave open space on all sides of the printer.
Caution • Do not place any padding or cushioning material behind or under the printer
because this restricts air flow and could cause the printer to overheat.
Provide a Data Source
If the printer will be located away from the data source (such as a computer), the selected site
must provide the appropriate connections to that data source. For more information on the
types of communication interfaces and their limitations, see Select a Data Communication
Interface on page 29.
Provide a Power Source
Place the printer within a short distance of a power outlet that is easily accessible.

Data Cables and Wireless Cards
You must supply all data cables or wireless cards for your application.
Data Cables Ethernet cables do not require sh ielding, but all oth er data cabl es must be fully
shielded and fitted with metal or metallized connector shells. Unshielded data cables may
increase radiated emissions above the regulated limits.
To minimize electrical noise pickup in the cable:
• Keep data cables as short as possible.
• Do not bundle the data cables tightly with the power cords.
• Do not tie the data cables to power wire conduits.
Wireless Cards For supported wireless cards, refer to the ZebraNet Wireless Print Server
and Wireless Plus Print Server User Guide. A copy of the manual is available at
http://www.zebra.com/manuals or on the user CD that came with your printer.
