Communication Interfaces
Data Cables
You must supply all data cables for your application. The use of cable strain relief clamps is recommended.
Ethernet cables do not require shielding, but all other data cables must be fully shielded and fitted with metal or metalized 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.

Types of Media
Types of Media
Important • Zebra strongly recommends the use of Zebra-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 prevent premature printhead wear. To purchase supplies, go to http://www.zebra.com/supplies.
Your printer can use various types of media:
•Standard media—Most standard media uses an adhesive backing that sticks individual labels or a continuous length of labels to a liner. Standard media can come on rolls or in a fanfold stack (Table 2).
•Tag stock—Tags are usually made from a heavy paper. Tag stock does not have adhesive or a liner, and it is typically perforated between tags. Tag stock can come on rolls or in a fanfold stack (Table 2).

•Black mark media uses pre-printed black marks on the back side of the media to indicate label separations.
•Perforated media has perforations that allow the labels or tags to be separated from each other easily. The media may also have black marks or other separations between labels or tags.

|
Continuous roll media does not have gaps, holes, notches, or |
|
black marks to indicate label separations. This allows the |
|
image to be printed anywhere on the label. Sometimes a cutter |
|
is used to cut apart individual labels. |

24Introduction
Ribbon Overview
Ribbon Overview
Ribbon is a thin film that is coated on one side with wax, resin, or wax resin, which is transferred to the media during the thermal transfer process. The media determines whether you need to use ribbon and how wide the ribbon must be.
When ribbon is used, it must be as wide as or wider than the media being used. If the ribbon is narrower than the media, areas of the printhead are unprotected and subject to premature wear.
When to Use Ribbon
Thermal transfer media requires ribbon for printing while direct thermal media does not. To determine if ribbon must be used with a particular media, perform a media scratch test.
To perform a media scratch test, complete these steps:
1.Scratch the print surface of the media rapidly with your fingernail.
2.Did a black mark appear on the media?
If a black mark... |
Then the media is... |
|
|
Does not appear on the media |
Thermal transfer. A ribbon is required. |
|
|
Appears on the media |
Direct thermal. No ribbon is required. |
|
|
Coated Side of Ribbon
Ribbon can be wound with the coated side on the inside or outside (Figure 7). This printer can only use ribbon that is coated on the outside unless you purchase and install the optional spindle that allows ribbon that is coated on the inside. Contact your authorized Zebra reseller for ordering information.
If you are unsure which side of a particular roll of ribbon is coated, perform an adhesive test or a ribbon scratch test to determine which side is coated.

Introduction 25
Ribbon Overview
Adhesive Test
If you have labels available, perform the adhesive test to determine which side of a ribbon is coated. This method works well for ribbon that is already installed.
To perform an adhesive test, complete these steps:
1.Peel a label from its liner.
2.Press a corner of the sticky side of the label to the outer surface of the roll of ribbon.
3.Peel the label off of the ribbon.
4.Observe the results. Did flakes or particles of ink from the ribbon adhere to the label?

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 Location for the Printer
Select a Location for the Printer
Select a location for the printer that meets these conditions:
•Surface: The surface where the printer will be located must be solid, level, and of sufficient size and strength to hold the printer.
•Space: The area where the printer will be located must include enough space for ventilation and for accessing the printer components and connectors. 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.
•Power: The printer should be within a short distance of an appropriate power outlet that is easily accessible.
•Data communication interfaces: The printer must be within range of your WLAN radio (if applicable) or within an acceptable range for other connectors to reach your data source (usually a computer). For more information on maximum cable lengths and configuration, see General Specifications on page 262.
•Operating conditions: Your printer is designed to function in a wide range of environmental and electrical conditions, including a warehouse or factory floor. Table 3 shows the temperature and relative humidity requirements for the printer when it is operating.
