Liner-less Media Printing
The ZP-Series printer includes a liner-less media printing option. The liner-less media printer
includes a non-stick platen (drive) roller. The liner-less platen roller has a sponge-like wavy
surface with a thin layer on the outer surface impregnated with silicon. The silicon is
continuously squeezed out of the roller when printing and feeding media. When the printer is
paired with specially formulated, Zebra approved liner-less media; the operator can print, tear-
off and apply labeling without removing any label backing or liner.
The specially formulated Zebra approved liner-less media has a printing surface that does not
allow the specially formulated acrylic adhesive stick to media (or the liner-less platen roller).
Only use Zebra approved liner-less media with liner-less printers.
See Platen Considerations on page 39 for more information on your printer’s platen and
maintenance.
Note • Keep a spare liner-less platen available. The liner-less platen has a limited life. The
thin layer of silicon is eventually squeezed out of the liner-less platen with use and will begin
jamming media.
The liner-less platen is normally self cleaning. Foreign materials, dust and adhesive will be
removed by the media’s adhesive backing.
Cleaning a liner-less platen shortens or ends the platen’s usable life.
