Zebra Technologies A100 Printer User Manual


 
The A100 printer uses a custom driver for the Windows operating system
that allows your Windows applications to print to it.
1. Start Windows.
2. Insert the Zebra A100 Printer Driver diskette in your floppy disk drive
(A: or B:).
3. In Program Manager, click on the File menu. Select Run. (Windows 95
users: select Run from the Start menu)
4. Type A:\SETUP (or B:\SETUP) and then press OK.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Important: You must restart Windows to activate this driver!
After you have installed the Zebra A100 printer driver, we recommend that
you use the Windows Printers Control Panel to configure it before you try to
print. From the Main Program Group in Windows 3.1, select Control Panel,
then Printers, then Zebra A100, then Setup. (Windows 95 users select Start,
then Settings, then Printers, then Zebra A100 then File Properties, then
Details, then Setup.) You will then see the Zebra A100’s Setup Dialog:
If you will use die cut labels or notched tickets or tags, then the Non-Contin-
uous Media Type button is already selected for you. If instead you are using
continuous media having no gaps or notches to identify the start and end of
each label, tag, or ticket, then click the Continuous Media Type button.
If you plan to tear off labels, tickets, tags, or strips as they are printed, then
the Tear Mode is already selected for you. If instead you are using die cut
pressure sensitive labels and want the printer to peel them from the backing
and wait for you to take them, then click the Peel button. (See “Peel Off
Mode Operation” for instructions on proper loading of peel off media.)
Enter the length of your label, tag, or ticket into the Label Length box by
overtyping or using the up and down arrows. If you are using continuous
media, enter the length you want your label, ticket, or tag to be.
Before printing, the Zebra A100 printer will normally reverse feed slightly to
begin printing at the very top of the next label. If you wish to disable this
feature to save time, click the No Backfeed button.
The Image Control slider sets the darkness of the printed image. The 100%
setting is correct for most thermal media. We suggest you leave the slider set
