QL 420 Only

2A. Load the media (continued):

Loading media from an external supply. Refer to Figure 7. The QL 420 has a loading slot in the rear of the media com-

partment which allows you to use standard 4” (101.6 mm) wide fan-fold media from an external supply. The external supply must be designed such that it does not exert excessive drag as media is fed through the printer, which could result in distorted printing.

Zebra can provide a vehicle mount (p/n DC16620-1) designed specifically for the QL 420 which incorporates an external media supply bin.

•Pull the media supports apart, insert a Media Spacer (Zebra part number BA16625-1) between them, and let the media supports close.

Insert the media from the external supply through the

rear feed slot, between the media guides and up through the media compartment as shown.

Make sure the

side of the media you will

be printing on faces the
