Remove Media Liner from the Rewind or Peel Spindle
To remove media liner from the rewind or peel spindle, complete these steps:

If power is turned off, all label formats and images, as well as any temporarily saved
parameter settings stored in the printer’s internal memory, are lost. When power is turned
back on, these items must be reloaded.

Caution • While performing any tasks near an open printhead, remove all rings, watches,
hanging necklaces, identification badges, or other metallic objects that could touch the
printhead. You are not required to turn off the printer power when working near an open
printhead, but Zebra recommends it as a precaution. If you turn off the power, you will lose
all temporary settings, such as label formats, and you must reload them before you resume
printing.
To set up the Rewind mode for printers with the cutter option, complete
these steps:
1. Remove the rewind plate from its storage location inside the printer.
