Congratulations! You have just purchased a high-quality thermal demand printer manufactured by the industry leader in quality, service, and value–Zebra Technologies Corporation. For over 25 years, Zebra has provided customers with the highest caliber of products and support.

This manual provides all of the information you will need to operate your printer on a daily basis. To create label formats, refer to the ZPL II Programming Guide (part # 46469L–if you did not order one with your printer, it is available free by sending in the postcard at the front of this manual).

There is also a two-volume maintenance manual for this printer. Volume 1: General Maintenance (part # 44868L) contains the information you may need in order to maintain your printer, and Volume 2: Circuit Descriptions and Electrical Schematics (part # 44869L) contains information necessary for repairing the circuit boards at the component level. You may order both volumes by specifying part # 44452L.
