Printing with Externally Mounted Roll Media
The printer accommodates externally mounted roll media similar to the printer’s support of fan-fold media.
The printer requires the media roll and stand combination to have a low initial inertia to pull the media off
the roll.
Zebra at this time does not offer an external roll media option for the ZD410 printer.
Externally Mounted Roll Media Considerations:
• The media ideally should enter the printer directly behind the printer through the fan-fold media slot in
the rear of the printer. See Printing on Fan-Fold Media on page 83 for media loading.
• Lower the print speed to decrease the chance of motor stalls. The roll typically has the highest inertia
when trying to start the roll moving. Larger media roll diameters require the printer to have more torque
applied to get the roll moving.
• The media should move smoothly and freely. The media should not slip, skip, jerk, bind and then move,
etc. when mounted on your media stand.
• The printer should not touch the media roll.
• The printer should not slip or lift up off the operating surface.
