Additional System Requirements
In addition to the Zebra S-Series Printer, you will need the following
items to form a complete label preparation system:
•
Label, ticket, or tag stock
•
An intelligent device, such as a computer, for data entry or entry of
ZPL II formats
•
A data communication cable to connect the controlling device to the
printer (remote installations may require additional cables and com-
munication devices, such as modems and/or protocol converters)
•
Thermal transfer ribbon (if using thermal transfer mode)
Media and Ribbon Requirements
Print quality not only depends on the Zebra S-Series Printer, but also
on the print media. Factors such as reflectivity and contrast are impor-
tant 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, polypropyl-
ene, polyester, and vinyl stock has been specifically engineered to en-
hance the printing capabilities of the printer and to ensure against
premature printhead
wear.
