RW 420 User Guide
Loading Media From An External Supply
Refer to Figure 7. The RW 420 configured with the Ex-
ternal Media option has a loading slot in the rear of the
media compartment allowing you to use standard 4 in.
(101.6 mm) wide fanfold media from an external supply.
The external supply must be designed such that it does
not exert excessive drag as media is fed through the
printer, which could result in distorted printing.
Zebra offers a series of vehicle cradles for the RW 420
(p/ns AK17463-003 and AK17463-004) which incorporate
provisions for installation of an external media supply bin.
• Pull the media supports apart, insert a Media Spacer
(Zebra part number BA16625-1) between them, and let
the media supports close. Insert the media from the
external supply through the rear feed slot, between the
media guides and up through the media compartment as
shown. Make sure the side of the media you will be print-
ing on faces the printhead.
