Load Media in Tear-Off Mode

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.

To load roll media, complete these steps:

1.Set the printer to Tear-Off mode. See Select Print Mode on page 73 for instructions.

2.Insert media into the printer. See Prepare the Media for Loading on page 40 for instructions.

3.Open the printhead assembly by rotating the printhead-open lever (1) counter-clockwise.

4.Loosen the thumb screw (not visible from this angle) that is located on the bottom of the outer media guide (1).
