Select a Site for the Printer
Consider the following when selecting an appropriate location for your printer.
Stability
When the print engine is mounted, the complete assembly must be physically stable. When the
print engine is loaded with ribbon and media, the equipment must not become physically
unstable.
Provide Proper Operating Conditions
This printer is designed to function in a wide range of environmental and electrical conditions,
including a warehouse or factory floor. For more information on the required conditions, see
ZE500 General Specifications on page 75.
Table 8 shows the temperature and relative humidity requirements for the printer when it is
operating.
Allow Proper Space
The printer should have enough space around it for you to be able to open the media door. To
allow for proper ventilation and cooling, leave open space on all sides of the printer.
Provide a Data Source
If the printer will be located away from the data source (such as a computer), the selected site
must provide the appropriate connections to that data source. For more information on the
types of communication interfaces and their limitations, refer to the User Guide.
Table 8 • Operating Temperature and Humidity
