Fuse Replacement

A user-replaceable AC Power Fuse is located just below the AC Power

Switch at the rear of the printer. The replacement fuse is a 3AG Fast

Blow style rated at 5 Amp/250 VAC

Before replacing the fuse, turn the AC Power Switch OFF and unplug the AC Power Cable.

To replace the fuse, insert the tip of a flatblade screwdriver into the slot in the end of the Fuse Holder End Cap. Press in slightly on the End Cap and turn the screwdriver slightly counterclockwise. This will disengage the End Cap from the Fuse Holder and permit removal of the fuse.

To install a new fuse, reverse the sequence.

Shipping

To ship the Z Series™ printer, remove all ribbon and media from the supply and take-up spindles to prevent damage to the printer. Carefully pack the printer in a suitable container to avoid damage during transit. Whenever possible, use the original “carton within a carton” packing materials from the factory. A shipping container can be purchased from Zebra Technologies Corporation if the original packaging is lost or de- stroyed.

If you use a different container, package the printer carefully to avoid damage.

CAUTION: When packaging the printer in a rigid container, use shock mounts or shock-absorbing packing material.

Setting Darkness For “In-Spec” Bar Codes

All Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer materials do not have the same Darkness requirements. The best way to check for the proper darkness setting is to use a Bar Code Verifier that actually measures bars/spaces and will calculate the PCS ratio. Without the assistance of a verifier, your eyes and/or the scanner to be used in the system, are the best bet for picking the optimum darkness setting. The following is a simple yet effective method for adjusting the darkness setting to print “In Spec” bar codes. Refer to Figure 31 for sample bar codes.
