157
1.
Plug the power supply into the printer’s DC power receptacle.
2. Insert the AC power cord into the power supply.
3. Plug the other end of the AC power cord into an appropriate AC electrical outlet. Note that AC outlet
end of the power cord’s plug type can vary by region.
4. The active power light will turn on green if power is on at the AC outlet.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure the appropriate power cord with a three (3) prong plug and an
IEC 60320-C13 connector are used at all times. These power cords must bear the relevant
certification mark of the country in which the product is being used.
Getting Ready to Print
The printer setup cannot be completed without media. The media may be labels, tags, tickets, receipt
paper, fan-fold stacks, tamper proof labels, etc. Ideally choose the same media used for normal operation.
This will help you identify any setup and real application issues while using this guide. The printer does not
come with media.
The Zebra Web site or your reseller may be able to help you select the right media for your intended
printing application. Find media at: zebra.com/supplies
.
Preparing and Handling Media
Careful handing and storage of your media is important in order to maximize print quality. If the media
becomes contaminated or dirty, it can damage the printer and cause defects in the printed image (voids,
streaks, discoloration, compromise the adhesive, etc.).
IMPORTANT:
During manufacturing, packaging, handling and storage, the outside length of media may
become dirty or contaminated. We recommend removing the outside layer of the media roll or stack. This
will remove any contaminants which might be transferred onto the printhead during normal operation.
