Load Media

The beginning steps for loading media apply to all printers, including those that have the peel-off, liner take-up, cutter, or rewind option. When you have completed these beginning steps, continue with the media loading instructions for the print mode and printer options that apply to you. For more information about print modes and printer options, see Print Modes and Printer Options on page 38.

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.
