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.
