Zebra Technologies S-500 Fanfold Media Loading, Cutter Mode Media Loading Cutter Option Required

Getting Started

Fanfold Media Loading

Fanfold media, from outside the printer, feeds through either the bottom or rear access slot.

To load fanfold media, thread the media through the Printhead Assembly as shown in Figure 4. Adjust the Media Supply Guide and the Media Guide against the outer edge of the media. These Guides must not cause pressure or excessive drag on the media. CLOSE the Head Open Lever, and see page 10 to adjust the Media Sensor position.

Cutter Mode Media Loading (Cutter Option Required)

Figure 5 illustrates a Stripe printer equipped with the Cutter Option.

To ensure proper media loading, follow the directions for the Tear-Off Mode with the exception that the end of the media must be positioned on top of the Platen Roller. See Figure 5.

With the end of the media positioned directly on top of the platen roller, CLOSE the Head Open Lever. The printer will automatically feed out and cut one label when the printer is powered on.

External Rewind Mode Media Loading

NOTE: The Peel-Off Option is designed for the Peel-Off Mode only. It is not designed as an internal media rewind feature.

This operating mode requires an External Rewinder. Media loading is the same as for the Tear-Off Mode of operation. If an External Rewinder is used, follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions for that unit.
