The term “media” as used in this manual refers to all the different kinds of paper, label, or tag stock material that can be printed on by the printer.
Your T4204 can print on continuous paper, adhesive backed labels or non- adhesive tags packaged in roll or fanfold form.
See Appendix B for a list of supplies available from Printronix.
CAUTION DO NOT TOUCH the Printhead or the electronic components under the Printhead Assembly. The discharge of electrostatic energy that accumulates on the surface of the human body or other surfaces can damage or destroy the printhead or electronic components used in this device.
CAUTION Adhesive backed labels that DO NOT lay flat on the backing liner may jam the printer. This can cause the label to peel off the liner. The exposed edges may stick to the label guides and rollers inside the printer. Genuine Printronix Supplies can be ordered from the Printronix Distributor where you purchased this printer. Please refer to Appendix B for sizes and part numbers.
IMPORTANT If you run out of labels while printing, do not turn the power switch to the OFF position while reloading labels. Lost data may result. Prior to printing labels, it is also recommended you enable the Error Recovery
