Printer Setup and Operation
3. Close the printhead.
4. Carefully pack the printer into the original container or a suitable alternate container to avoid damage
during transit. A shipping container can be purchased from Zebra if the original packaging has been lost
or destroyed.
Selecting a Location for the Printer
Select a location for the printer that meets these conditions:
• Surface: The surface where the printer will be located must be solid, level, and of sufficient size and
strength to hold the printer.
• Space: The area where the printer will be located must include enough space for ventilation and for
accessing the printer components and connectors. To allow for proper ventilation and cooling, leave
open space on all sides of the printer.
CAUTION: Do not place any padding or cushioning material behind or under the printer
because this restricts air flow and could cause the printer to overheat.
• Power: The printer should be within a short distance of an appropriate power outlet that is easily
accessible.
• Data communication interfaces: The printer must be within range of your WLAN radio (if applicable) or
within an acceptable range for other connectors to reach your data source (usually a computer). For
more information on maximum cable lengths and configuration, see General Specifications on page
160.
• Operating conditions: Your printer is designed to function in a wide range of environmental and
electrical conditions, including a warehouse or factory floor. These are the temperature and relative
humidity requirements for the printer when it is operating.
Mode Temperature Relative Humidity
Thermal Transfer 5° to 40°C (41° to 104°F)
Direct Thermal 0° to 40°C(32° to 104°F)
20 to 85% non-condensing
