Hello!
Thank you for choosing the Zebra
®
R402
™
Printer, a high-quality thermal
demand printer with RFID capability manufactured by the industry leader in
quality, service, and value—Zebra Technologies Corporation. For over 25
years, Zebra Technologies Corporation has provided customers with the
highest caliber of products and support.
This manual provides all of the information you will need to operate your
printer on a daily basis. RFID specific ZPL II commands are contained in
this manual. To create label formats, refer to the ZPL II Programming
Guide (part # 46530L). This guide is available by contacting your
distributor or Zebra Technologies Corporation.
NOTE: Many printer settings may also be controlled by your printer’s
driver or label preparation software. Refer to the driver or software
documentation for more information.
The Zebra R402 printer, when connected to a host computer, functions as a
complete system for printing and encoding “Smart” labels, tickets, and tags.
The printer receives instructions from the host computer. Microprocessors
continuously monitor these signals along with the inputs received from the
control panel and various sensors. The microprocessors interpret this
information and control the Zebra R402 printer’s mechanical drive, print
Head, RFID Subsystem communications, command interpretation, label
formatting, and media and ribbon movement.
