PRINTER INSTALLATION
This chapter provides guidance on general printer setup and installation. The following chapter
provides instructions on how to select an interface for the host to communicate with the printer.
SITE LOCATION
• Stationed on a solid flat surface
• Stationed away from hazardous conditions
• Sufficient access space on all sides to premit access and opening of its covers.
• Stationed within operational distance of the host computer.
MEDIA SELECTION
The size and type of the labels or tags to be printed should have been taken into consideration
before printer purchase. Ideally, the media width will be equal to, or just narrower than, the print
head. Using media that does not cover the print head, will allow the platen roller to tread on the
head and cause premature wear. The edge of the media will also wear a groove in the platen
roller which will effect print quality.
After determining the width and length of the label or tag to be printed, and knowing the print
head width, order the media width of the print head and with the labels or tags oriented so that
the media’s space is optimized. The media should be wound with its print surface inward.
