4Zebra S-Series User’s Guide

Print quality not only depends on the Zebra S-Series Printer, but also on
the print media. Factors such as reflectivity and contrast are important for
bar code scanning applications. Factors such as paper abrasion and
temperature requirements are important in maintaining the life of the
printhead.
We STRONGLY RECOMMEND the use of Zebra-brand media for
continuous high quality printing. A wide range of paper, polypropylene,
polyester, and vinyl stock has been specifically engineered to enhance the
printing capabilities of the printer and to ensure against premature
printhead wear.
Continuous roll form paper, fanfold media, or cardstock with optional
perforations and registration holes may be used. The standard 160S
Printer and 105Se Printer with an optional reflective sensor can use
“black-mark media” (media having a black mark printed on the liner side
for use in positioning the labels).
Since print quality is affected by media and ribbon, printing speeds, and
printer operating modes, it is very important to run tests for your
applications. This is especially true if you’re operating in peel-off mode,
where these variables combine with label size, backing content, diecut
depth, and even humidity to affect printer operation.
