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.
We STRONGLY RECOMMEND the use of Zebra Technologies
Corporation-brand supplies 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 media, fanfold media, or card stock with optional
perforations and registration holes may be used.
Printhead life may be reduced by the abrasion of exposed paper fibers
when using perforated media.
The ribbon MUST be as wide as or wider than the media being used. If
the ribbon is narrower than the media, areas of the printhead are
unprotected and subject to premature wear. (When printing in direct
thermal mode, ribbon is not used and should not be loaded in the
printer.)

NOTE: Depending on how your printer was ordered, a power cord may
or may not be included. If one is not included, or if the one
included is not suitable for your requirements, refer to “Power
Line Cord Specifications” on page 92.
The power cord connector must be plugged into the mating connector on
the rear of the printer.
Make sure that the POWER on/off switch (located at the back of the
printer) is in the off position before connecting the power cable to an
electrical outlet.
