Loading Media
The term “media” as used in this manual refers to all the different kinds of
paper, label, or tag stock material that can be printed on by the printer.
Your T4204 can print on continuous paper, adhesive backed labels or non-
adhesive tags packaged in roll or fanfold form.
See Appendix B for a list of supplies available from Printronix.
CAUTION
DO NOT TOUCH the Printhead or the electronic components under the
Printhead Assembly. The discharge of electrostatic energy that
accumulates on the surface of the human body or other surfaces can
damage or destroy the printhead or electronic components used in this
device.
CAUTION
Adhesive backed labels that DO NOT lay flat on the backing liner may
jam the printer. This can cause the label to peel off the liner. The
exposed edges may stick to the label guides and rollers inside the
printer. Genuine Printronix Supplies can be ordered from the Printronix
Distributor where you purchased this printer. Please refer to Appendix B
for sizes and part numbers.
IMPORTANT
If you run out of labels while printing, do not turn the power switch to
the OFF position while reloading labels. Lost data may result. Prior to
printing labels, it is also recommended you enable the Error Recovery
sub-menu of the PRINTER CONTROL menu, and save it as the power-on
default. Error Recovery forces the printer to automatically reprint a label
that may have been partially printed prior to the LOAD PAPER fault
message, after additional labels are properly loaded.
