Printer Setup and Operation

Load the Ribbon
Ribbon is used only with thermal transfer labels. For direct thermal labels, do not load ribbon in the printer.
To determine if ribbon must be used with a particular media, see When to Use Ribbon onpage45.
1. Raise the media door.
Note • This section applies only to printers that have the Thermal Transfer option installed.
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.
Important • Use ribbon that is wider than the media to protect the printhead from wear. Ribbon must be
coated on the outside.
