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:
• Remove any media or ribbon from the printer to avoid damaging the printer.
• 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.
Recycle the Printer
Table 3 • Storage Temperature and Humidity
This printer is recyclable. If you must dispose of the printer, do not do so in
unsorted municipal waste. Please recycle accordin g to yo ur lo cal standards. For

Select a Site for the Printer
Select a Site for the Printer
Consider the following when 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 188.
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 188.
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 Communication Interfac e
on page 19.
Provide a Power Source
Place the printer within a short distance of a power outlet that is easily accessible.
13383L-003 Rev. AXiIIIPlus/R110Xi/R170Xi User Guide8/11/06
Select a Communication Interface
The way that you connect your pri nter to a data source depend s on th e communic ation op tions
installed in the printer. You may use any available connection to send commands and label
formats from a host computer to the printer.
Caution • Ensure that the printer power is off (O) before connecting data communications
cables. Connecting a data communications cable while the power is on (
printer.
Note • You must supply all interface cables or wireless cards for your application. Refer to
Data Cable Requirements on page 23 for specific cable requirements.
Connector Locations
Refer to Figure 5. The printer comes standard with an Electronics Industries Association (EIA)
RS-232 serial interface (DB-9 connector), an IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel interface, and a
USB 2.0-compatible interface. You may use either of these interface methods to send
commands and label formats from a computer to the printer.

Select a Communication Interface
Types of Connections
The method of connecting the printer to a data source depends on the communication options
installed in the printer and the host computer. This section provides basic information about
common interfaces.
When communicating via the serial data port (RS-232), the baud rate, number of data and stop
bits, the parity, and the XON/XOFF or DTR control should be set to match those of the host
computer. See Table 9, Printer Parameters on page 64 to configure these parameters. When
communicating via the parallel port, the previously mentioned parameters do not apply.
RS-232 Serial A serial communication method consisting of data and control signals;
available as a standard feature on most personal computers and other hosts.
• Advantages: Cables and connectors are readily available from computer equipment stores
and suppliers; easy to connect; two-way communication between the computer and the
printer; relatively long cable length.
• Disadvantages: Slower than the parallel connection; limited to 50 feet (15.24 m) of c able;
may need to change printer parameters to match host computer; need to use a null-modem
adaptor to connect to the printer if using a standard modem cable.
