2.1 SITE LOCATION
Consider the following when setting up the printer:
•
Place the printer on a solid flat surface with adequate space. Make sure there is enough space above
the printer to provide clearance for the top cover to swing open.
•
Place it away from hazardous materials or dusty environments.
•
Place it within operational distance of the host computer if connected, within interface cable
specifications.
2.2 MEDIA SELECTION
The size and type of the labels to be printed should have been taken into consideration before printer
purchase. Ideally, the media width will be equal to, or just narrower than, the print head. Using media that
does not cover the print head will allow the platen roller to tread on it and wear it out. The media edge will also
wear a groove in the platen roller, which can affect print quality.
This printer can print on roll media. The printer uses sensors to detect I-Marks or Gaps on the media in order
to precisely position the print content.
Note:
For optimal print performance and durability,
please use SATO-certified label supplies on this
printer.
Using supplies not tested and approved for use by SATO can result in unnecessary wear and
damage to vital parts of the printer, and may void the warranty.
