Getting Started
This section describes how to set up your printer for the first time and use
the most common operating procedures for loading media in tear-off mode
and loading ribbon.
Modes of Printing
You can operate this printer in different modes:
■
Standard tear-off mode allows you to tear off each label (or a strip of
labels) after it is printed.
■
In optional peel-off mode, the backing material is peeled away from the
label as it is printed. After this label is removed, the next one is printed.
■
In optional liner-free mode, labels have no backing. This option is only
available with the direct-thermal LP model modified with a special
platen.
■
In optional cutter mode, an attached unit cuts through the media.
The printer typically uses roll media, but you can use fan-fold or other
continuous media as well.
For procedures to use optional modes and features, refer to the Operation
and Options section.

Loading Roll Media
When you load media, you must place the roll on the media hangers and
then adjust the media guides.
MOVIE
You must use the correct media for the type of printing you require. When
printing without a ribbon, you must use direct thermal media. When using
ribbon, you must use thermal transfer media. The printer's ribbon sensor
detects motion of the supply spindle.
Placing the Roll in the Media Compartment
MOVIE
Whether your roll media is inside or
outside wound you load it into the printer
the same way.
1. Open the printer. Remember that you
need to pull the release levers toward
the front of the printer.
2. Remove the outside length of media.
During shipment, the roll may become
dirty when handled or dusty when
stored. Removing the outside length
avoids dragging adhesive or dirty
media between the print head and
platen.
3. Separate and hold open the media
hangers.
4. Orient the media roll so that its
printing surface will be up as it passes
over the platen.
5. Lower the roll between the hangers
and close them onto the core.

1. Open the media guides by turning the
guide adjuster knob to the rear.
2. Thread the media through the guides.
3. Close the media guides by turning the
guide adjuster knob to the front. They
should just touch, but not restrict, the
edges of the media.
4. Unless you need to load ribbon, close
the top cover. Remember that you
need to release the cover lock, lower
the top cover, and press down until the
latches snap into place.
10
980410-001 Rev. B
Loading Ribbon
MOVIE
You must use thermal transfer media (accepts wax and/or resin transferred
off a ribbon) when you use a ribbon in a TLP model printer. When loading
ribbon, you install the supply and take-up rolls, then tighten the ribbon on
the carriage.

next roll of ribbon.
980410-001 Rev. B
11
Attach and Tighten the Ribbon
You must align the ribbon so that it will
be taken straight onto the core.
1. Attach the ribbon to the take up core.
Use the adhesive strip on new rolls;
otherwise, use tape.
2. Turn the ribbon take-up gear
counter-clockwise (top moves toward
rear) to remove slack from the ribbon.
3. Close the top cover. Remember that
you need to release the cover lock,
lower the top cover, and press down
until the latches snap into place.

980410-001 Rev. B
Auto Calibration
NOTE: If you are using pre-printed labels, pre-printed label backing, or
continuous media, see “Manual Calibration” on page 42.
An auto calibration is performed when the printer is turned on (if media is
loaded) or after a media error is cleared. When it is auto calibrating, the
printer sets the sensor levels for, and determines the length of, the label you
are using.
If the status light flashes red, refer to “Manual Calibration” on page 42.
980410-001 Rev. B

Hooking Up the Printer and Computer
Your printer will have one of two combinations of interfaces:
MOVIE
■
Universal Serial Bus (USB), parallel and serial
■
USB, ethernet (using the Internal ZebraNet® PrintServer II™) and serial
Each specific interface option—USB, parallel, ethernet, serial—is discussed
individually.
You must supply the required interface cable for your application.
CAUTIONS:Keep the power switch in the OFF position when
attaching the interface cable.
The power supply barrel connector must be inserted
into the power supply receptacle on the back of the
printer before connecting or disconnecting the communications cables.
This printer complies with FCC “Rules and Regulations,” Part 15, for Class B Equipment, using fully
shielded six-foot data cables. Use of longer cables or
unshielded cables may increase radiated emissions
above the Class B limits.
Interface Cable Requirements
Data cables must be of fully shielded construction and fitted with metal or
metalized connector shells. Shielded cables and connectors are required to
prevent radiation and reception of electrical noise.
To minimize electrical noise pickup in the cable:
Keep data cables as short as possible (6’ [1.83 m] recommended).
Do not tightly bundle the data cables with power cords.
Do not tie the data cables to power wire conduits.
16
980410-001 Rev. B
USB Interface Requirements
Universal Serial Bus (version 1.1) provides a high-speed interface that is
compatible with your existing PC hardware. USB’s “plug and play” design
makes installation easy. Multiple printers can share a single USB port/hub.
Parallel Interface Requirements
The required cable (IEEE 1284-compliant is recommended) must have a
standard 36-pin parallel connector on one end, which is plugged into the
parallel port located on the back of the printer. The other end of the parallel
interface cable connects to the printer connector at the host computer.
For pinout information, refer to page 48.
Ethernet Interface Requirements
Ethernet provides a powerful networking capability that can be of use in a
variety of internet/intranet printing solutions. After you load media and
close the top cover, you can press the test button next to the connector on
the rear of the printer to get an ethernet configuration label.
TM
You can refer to the ZebraNet® PrintServer II for Ethernet Networks
Installation and Operation Guide (part number 46716L) for details
regarding this interface.
Serial Interface Requirements
The required cable must have a nine-pin “D” type (DB-9P) male connector
on one end, which is plugged into the mating (DB-9S) serial port located on
the back of the printer. The other end of this signal interface cable connects
to a serial port at the host computer. Depending on the specific interface
requirements, this will most likely be a null modem cable.
For pinout information, refer to page 50
980410-001 Rev. B

Adjusting the Print Width
Print width must be calibrated when:
■
You are using the printer for the first time.
■
There is a change in the width of the media.
Print width may be set by way of the five-flash sequence in “Feed Button
Modes” (see page45) or refer to the Print Width (^PW) command (consult
your ZPL II Programming Guide).
Adjusting the Print Darkness
The relative darkness setting is controlled by either the six-flash sequence
in “Feed Button Modes” (see page 45) or the Set Darkness (~SD) ZPL II
command (follow the instructions in the ZPL II Programming Guide).
Adjusting the Print Speed
Print quality is influenced by print speed and the media you are using.
Only by experimenting will you find the optimal mix for your application.
If you find that the print speed needs to be adjusted, refer to the Print Rate
(^PR) command in the ZPL II Programming Guide.
20
980410-001 Rev. B
Operation & Options
This section helps you get the most from your printer.
You must use programming to control many of the printer’s functions. A
few examples:
■
The ~JL command controls label length.
■
The ^XA^MTD^XZ command changes the printing mode to direct
thermal; the ^XA^MTT^XZ command changes the printing mode to
thermal transfer.
■
The ^XA^JUS^XZ command saves the new settings to flash memory.
For detailed information about creating labels using ZPL II, refer to the ZPL
II Programming Guide or visit our web site at www.zebra.com.
To improve print quality, changing both print speed and density may be
required to achieve the desired results. Your application’s printer driver
provides control of the speed and heat (density).
Thermal Printing
The print head becomes hot while printing. To protect from damaging the
print head and risk of personal injury, avoid touching the print head. Use
only the cleaning pen to perform maintenance.
The discharge of electrostatic energy that accumulates on the surface of the
human body or other surfaces can damage or destroy the print head or
electronic components used in this device. You must observe static-safe
procedures when working with the print head or the electronic components
under the top cover.
You must use the correct media for the type of printing you require. When
printing without a ribbon, you must use direct thermal media. When using
ribbon, you must use thermal transfer media. The printer’s ribbon sensor
detects motion of the supply spindle.
980410-001 Rev. B
21
Replacing Supplies
If labels or ribbon run out while printing, leave the printer power on while
reloading (data loss results if you turn off the printer). After you load a
new label or ribbon roll, the printer flashes double-green until you press the
Feed button to restart .
Always use high quality, approved labels, tags and ribbons. If adhesive
backed labels are used that don’t lay flat on the backing liner, the exposed
edges may stick to the label guides and rollers inside the printer, causing the
label to peel off from the liner and jam the printer. Permanent damage to the
print head may result if a non-approved ribbon is used as it may be wound
incorrectly for the printer or contain chemicals corrosive to the print head.
Approved supplies can be ordered from your dealer.
Adding a New Transfer Ribbon
If ribbon runs out in the middle of a print job, the indicator lights orange
and the printer waits for you to add a fresh roll.
1. Keep the power on as you change ribbon.
2. Open the top cover, then cut the used ribbon so you can remove the
cores.
3. Load a new ribbon roll. If necessary, review the Ribbon Loading steps.
4. Close the top cover.
5. Press the Feed button to restart printing.
Replacing a Partially Used Transfer Ribbon
To remove used transfer ribbon, perform the following steps.
1. Cut the ribbon from the take-up roll.
2. Remove the take-up roll and discard used ribbon.
3. Remove the supply roll and tape the end of any fresh ribbon to prevent
it from unwrapping.
When reinstalling a partially used supply roll, tape the cut end onto the
empty take-up roll.

5. Insert the media through the slot at the
rear of the printer.
6. Run the media between the hangers
and guides.
7. Close the top cover.
24
980410-001 Rev. B
Using the Cutter Option
Printers that have a bezel with a motorized blade can dispense one or more
forms that are then automatically cut from the media supply. This option
cuts through continuous paper from rolls and liner between labels. Keep
the cutter dry. Never use any solutions or solvents to clean the blade.
Use the ^MM command to activate the cutter and the ^LL command to set
the form length and gap distance. See the ZPL II programmer's manual.
If the blade cuts through labels, adhesive
can jam the cutter.
1. Turn OFF (O) printer power and
unplug the power and interface cables
before clearing the cutter.
2. After removing debris, plug in the
power and interface cables, turn on
the printer, then test for normal
operation.
980410-001 Rev. B
25
Printing on Linerless Labels
“Linerless labels” are a special label stock without a backing material or
liner on the adhesive side. The media is wound upon itself with the
adhesive on the back of the label in contact with the face of the label below.
Direct-thermal LP printers can handle linerless labels when modified with a
unique, non-stick platen coated with silicone. Even so, adhesives and
coatings can transfer to the media path including the platen and print head;
this build-up can accumulated dust and debris. Maintaining a clean print
head, media path and platen roller ensures proper operation. See the
“Maintenance” section for cleaning instructions.
Linerless platens suffer wear more quickly than standard platens. Keep a
new platen available as a spare and install it whenever the printer has
significantly poorer performance, print quality or media handling. If
sticking or jamming continues even after cleaning, you must replace the
platen. See the “Maintenance” section for platen replacement instructions.

When you clean the printer, use one or more of the following supplies that
best suits your needs:
DESCRIPTION
Cleaning pens (12)
Cleaning swabs (25)
Cleaning cards, 4-in wide (25)
Save-a-Print Head film, 4-in wide (3)
The cleaning process takes just a couple of minutes using the steps outlined
below.
Printer Part
Method
Let the print head to cool for one minute, then use a new
cleaning pen to swab the print elements (the thin gray
line on the print head) from end to end. NOTE: You do
not have to turn off the printer to do this.
Print head
If print quality remains poor after cleaning, try the
Save-a-Print Head cleaning film to remove buildup
without damaging the print head. Call your authorized
reseller for more information.

980410-001 Rev. B
Interval
As needed
27
Adhesives and coatings of media can over time transfer onto the printer
components along the media path including the platen and print head.
This build-up can accumulate dust and debris. Failure to clean the print
head, media path and platen roller could result in inadvertent loss of labels,
label jams and possible damage to the printer.
Print Head Considerations
MOVIE
Always use a new cleaning pen on the print head (an old pen carries
contaminants from its previous uses that may damage the print head).
Media Path Considerations
Use a cleaning swab or pen to remove debris, dust or crust that has built-up
on the holders, guides and media path surfaces.
1. Use the alcohol in the cleaning swab or pen to soak the debris so that it
breaks up.
2. Wipe the area with the cleaning swab or pen to remove the debris.
3. Discard the cleaning swab or pen after use.
Cleaning Card Considerations
Use a cleaning card to remove debris that has built-up on the platen. Avoid
scrubbing or vigorously rubbing the platen; otherwise, the surface could be
damaged.
1. Open the printer and remove labels.
2. Place the cleaning card into the label path so that it is under the guides
and it extends between the print head and platen roller.
3. Close and latch the printer.
4. With the power switch on, press the feed switch to move the cleaning
card through the printer.
5. Discard the card after use.
28
980410-001 Rev. B
Platen Considerations
The standard platen (drive roller) normally does not require cleaning. Paper
and liner dust can accumulate without effecting print operations.
Contaminates on the platen roller can damage the print head or cause the
media to slip when printing. Adhesive, dirt, general dust, oils and other
contaminates should be cleaned immediately off the platen.
However, the non-stick platen roller on linerless media printers requires
frequent cleaning to keep adhesive buildup from occurring and transferring
to the print head and the media path. Keep a new platen available as a spare
and install it whenever the printer has significantly poorer performance,
print quality or media handling. If sticking or jamming continues even after
cleaning, you must replace the platen.
The platen can be cleaned with a fiber-free swab (such as a Texpad swab)
or a lint free, clean, damp cloth very lightly moistened with medical grade
alcohol (70% pure or better).
1. Open the media door and remove the media.
2. Clean the platen surface with the alcohol moistened swab. Rotate the
platen while swabbing. Repeat this process two to three times with a
new swab to remove residual contaminates. Adhesives and oils, for
example, may be thinned by the initial cleaning but not completely
removed.
3. Discard the cleaning swab or pen after use.
Allow the printer to dry for one minute before loading labels.
Lubrication
No lubricating agents of any kind should be used on this printer! Some
commercially available lubricants, if used, will damage the finish and the
mechanical parts inside the printer.

ASCII control codes DC1 (XON) and DC3 (XOFF). The DTR control lead
will have no effect.
Interconnecting to DTE Devices —The printer is configured as data
terminal equipment (DTE). To connect the printer to other DTE devices
(such as the serial port of a personal computer), use an RS-232 null modem
(crossover) cable.
Interconnecting to DCE Devices —When the printer is connected via its
RS-232 interface to data communication equipment (DCE) such as a
modem, a STANDARD RS-232 (straight-through) interface cable must be
used.
