Now that your printer is ready for operation, how does it work? The Zebra S-Series Printer is designed to receive instructions from a host computer, such as an IBM-compatible PC. To create a label, you either need to use label design software or write a format in ZPL II®, which is a programming language for creating label formats. If you are using label design software, refer to the instructions provided with your software package to determine how to proceed.

If you are using, or plan to use, ZPL II, make sure you have a copy of the ZPL II Programming Guide. This guide is available by contacting your distributor or Zebra Technologies Corporation. For some sample ZPL II label formats, see page 35. But first, we’ll describe the different operating modes.

The S-Series Printer can be configured for several different modes of operation by sending the proper commands from the host computer. Operating modes may also be configured via a bank of DIP switches at the rear of the printer. (See “Option Switches” on page 39 for more information about DIP switches.)

There are two basic modes by which the printer can sense the position of the media: transmissive sensing mode and black mark sensing mode. The 160S comes standard with both transmissive sensing mode and black mark sensing mode capabilities. The 105Se comes standard with transmissive sensing mode capability, but may be factory ordered with an additional black mark sensor.
