Additional System Requirements
In addition to the Zebra S-Series Printer, you will need the following items to form a complete label preparation system:
•Label, ticket, or tag stock
•An intelligent device, such as a computer, for data entry or entry of ZPL II formats
•A data communication cable to connect the controlling device to the printer (remote installations may require additional cables and com- munication devices, such as modems and/or protocol converters)
•Thermal transfer ribbon (if using thermal transfer mode)
Media and Ribbon Requirements
Print quality not only depends on the Zebra S-Series Printer, but also on the print media. Factors such as reflectivity and contrast are important for bar code scanning applications. Factors such as paper abrasion and temperature requirements are important in maintaining the life of the printhead.
We STRONGLY RECOMMEND the use of Zebra-brand media for continuous high quality printing. A wide range of paper, polypropyl- ene, polyester, and vinyl stock has been specifically engineered to enhance the printing capabilities of the printer and to ensure against premature printhead wear.
