Introduction
Thank you for choosing our Zebra Mobile Printer. The PA/PT 400 and PA/PT403 printers are sure to become productive and efficient additions to your workplace.
•This user’s guide gives you all the information you’ll need to op- erate your printer.
•There are two basic types of printers in the 400 series: the PA type which uses direct thermal technology, and the PT type which uses a thermal transfer film to print.
•There are two models within the 400 series: the cost effective 400 models and the more powerful 403 models with expanded memory to handle even larger and more complex printing tasks.
•To create and print label formats, take a look at the ZPL II Pro- gram Guide (part #46530L) for information about Zebra’s label design programming language, better known as “ZPL II.” If one was not ordered with your printer, simply call your reseller or Zebra Technologies Corporation or visit the Zebra web site. If you’d like to use a different label preparation software, contact your reseller or Zebra for advice and information.
•The PA400/PT400 Maintenance Manual (part #505142L) con- tains all the information you’ll need to properly maintain the printer.
