Packing the Printer for Shipment
If the printer is to be shipped, it is important to use the original packing and shipping material
to prevent damage to the Printer. If the original material is lost, a replacement Shipping Kit can
be ordered from Zebra; please refer to the Media List on the Windows Drivers and User
Documentation CD supplied with this printer.
Step 1. Remove cards in the card feeder:
a. While the printer still has power applied and is turned on, and is still connected to the
host computer, remove cards from the card feeder. The last card may be difficult to
remove. If so, use the Eject Card command available through the driver on the host
computer to eject the last card that is staged in the feeder.
b. Close the Card Feeder Cover.
Step 2. If the printer still has power applied and is turned on, and is still connected to the host
computer, set the printer’s power switch (on the back of the printer) to the OFF ( O )
position, and disconnect the interface and power cables to the printer.
Step 3. Open the Main Cover. Open the Print Head Carriage and remove the Ribbon. (If you
wish to save the ribbon for future use, you may want to put it in a plastic bag for
storage.)
Step 4. Insert the print head protection pad, and close the Print Head Carriage. Remove the
Card Cleaning Cartridge and place it in the upper foam insert. Close the Main Cover.
Step 5. Slide the Output Hopper in all the way against the Printer.
Step 6. Place the Printer in its protective plastic bag.
Step 7. Place the lower foam insert in the lower part of the shipping carton.
Step 8. Use both hands to carefully place the Printer into the recess in the lower foam insert.
Step 9. Place the upper foam insert onto the Printer and gently press it down so it makes a
snug fit on the Printer; the top of the upper foam insert should be even with the upper
edge of the lower part of the shipping carton.
Step 10. Slide the upper part of the shipping carton down over the lower part.
Step 11. Insert and close the handles/latches.
Note • The specifics of the shipment and the printer’s condition may influence which of the
following steps are followed; common sense should prevail.
Caution • Do not physically pull the last card out of the feeder staging area. This could
damage the printer and void the warranty, as well as damage the card.
