ZD411D Printer Setup
Loading Roll Media in the ZD411D Printer
All of the Link-OS printers load print labels and media rolls the same.
• Label media uses the sensor to look through the media backing (liner) to see the beginning and end of
labels on the roll
• Marked media (black lines, black marks, notches, or holes) to define the print length
• Continuous (receipt, etc.) with no marks to define the print length
Setting Media Sensing by Media type
• For web/gap label media, the printer senses the differences between the label and the liner
todetermine the print format length.
• For continuous roll media, the printer only senses the media’s characteristics. The print format’s length
is set by programming (driver or software) or the last stored form’s length.
• For black mark media, the printer senses the beginning of the mark and the distance to the start of the
next black mark to measure the print format length.
• For other common media and setting variations
• Setup printing with the Label Dispenser Option after you have loaded media using this procedure.
• For loading fan-fold media, see Printing on Fan-Fold Media. Those instructions replace steps 1-4 for
loading roll media.
