Load Ribbon and Media
Use the instructions in this section to load ribbon and to load roll media in Tear-Off mode.
Loading Ribbon Ribbon is used only with thermal transfer labels. For direct thermal labels,
do not load ribbon in the printer (omit steps 2 through 6 in the following procedure).
Loading Media For instructions for loading fanfold media or for loading in different print
modes, refer to the User Guide.
Note • The components inside your printer are color-coded.
• The touch points that you will need to handle are colored gold inside the printers and are
highlighted in gold in the illustrations in this manual.
• The components associated with the ribbon system are made of black plastic, while the
components associated with media are made of gray plastic. Those components and
others are highlighted in light blue in the illustrations in this manual as needed.
Important • Use ribbon that is wider than the media to protect the printhead from wear.
Ribbon must be coated on the outside (refer to the User Guide for more information).
Note • The maximum ribbon length for the ZT210 and ZT220 is 984 ft (300 m). The
maximum ribbon length for the ZT230 is 1476 ft (450 m).
