2A. Load the media (continued):
Loading media from an external supply. Refer to Figure 7.
The QL 420 has a loading slot in the rear of the media com-
partment which allows you to use standard 4” (101.6 mm)
wide fan-fold 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 can provide a vehicle mount (p/n DC16620-1) de-
signed specifically for the QL 420 which incorporates an exter-
nal 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 compart-
ment as shown.
