Introduction
Modes of Printing
You can operate this printer in many different modes and media configurations:
• Direct thermal printing (which uses heat sensitive media to print).
• Thermal transfer printing with easy to use thermal transfer ribbon cartridge or rib-
bon rolls (heat and pressure transfers ink from the ribbon to media).
• Standard Tear-Off mode allows you to tear off each label/receipt or batch print a
strip of labels and tear them off after it is printed.
• Label Dispense Mode: If an optional dispenser is installed, the backing material
can be peeled away from the label as it is printed. After this label is removed, the
next one is printed.
• Media Cutting: If an optional media cutter is installed, the printer can cut the label
liner between labels, receipt paper or tag stock.
• Linerless media printing with Cut or Tear-Off label options for easy pick and place
label applications.
• Stand-alone: The printer can print without being directly connected to a computer.
• A printer with the color LCD display option can use menus to access and print
a label format/form.
• A Link-OS App connecting via Bluetooth (Wireless option).
• An auto running label format/form (programming based).
• A data input device connected to the printer’s USB Host port or serial port.
This mode accommodates data input devices, such as scanners, weigh
scales, a Zebra Keyboard Display Unit (ZKDU), etc.
• Shared network printing: Printers configured with Ethernet (LAN) and Wi-Fi
interface options include an internal print server.
