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.
Open the media door and remove the media and ribbon.
