Printing with Externally Mounted Roll Media
The printer accommodates externally mounted roll media similar to the printer’s support of fan-fold media.
The printer requires the media roll and stand combination to have a low initial inertia to pull the media off
the roll.
Externally Mounted Roll Media Considerations:
The media ideally should enter the printer directly behind the printer through the fan-fold media slot
in the rear of the printer. See Printing on Fan-Fold Media for media loading.
Use the default print speed of 101.6 mm/sec (4 ips) on ZD230 printer models. Consult your ZPL
Programming Guide.
The media should move smoothly and freely. The media should not slip, skip, jerk, bind and then
move, etc. when mounted on your media stand.
The printer should not touch the media roll.
The printer should not slip or lift up off the operating surface.
