Warranty Information

Effective November 1, 2001

All Zebra Technologies Corporation products are sold with warranties. Following is some general information:

Printer Products

Printers. All printers (excluding printheads) are warranted against defect in material or workmanship for twelve (12) months from the purchase date.

Proof of purchase or shipment date is required to validate the warranty period. The warranty becomes void if the equipment is modified, improperly installed or used, damaged by accident or neglect, or if any parts are improperly installed or replaced by the user.

Note: Products returned must be packaged in the original or comparable packing and shipping container. In the event equipment is not so packaged, or if shipping damage is evident, it will not be accepted for service under warranty. Surface transportation charges for return to customers in the continental United States is paid by Zebra. Otherwise, Zebra pays CPT (carriage paid to) nearest airport; customer pays customs, duties, taxes, and freight from airport to destination. If Zebra determines that the

product returned for warranty service or replacement is not defective as herein defined, the customer will pay all handling and transportation costs.

Printheads. Since printhead wear is part of normal operation, the original printhead is covered by a limited warranty as indicated below. Warranty period begins on purchase date.

Printhead	Warranty Period
Bar code label printer printheads	6 months
Card printer printheads	12 months

To qualify for this warranty, the printhead must be returned to the factory or to an authorized service center. Customers are not required to purchase Zebra supplies (media and/or ribbons) for warranty qualification. However, if it is determined that the use of other manufacturer supplies has caused any defect in the printhead for which a warranty claim is made, the user is responsible for Zebra’s labor and material charges required to repair the defect. The warranty becomes void if the printhead is physically worn or damaged; also if it is determined that failure to follow the preventive maintenance schedule listed in the User’s Guide has caused defect in the thermal printhead for which a warranty claim is made.

Software. Software is warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for 30 days from the date of purchase. In the event of notification within the warranty period of defects, Zebra will replace the defective diskette or documentation.

Batteries. Mobile printer batteries are warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for 90 days from date of purchase. In the event of notification within the warranty period, Zebra will replace the defective battery provided there has not been damage resulting from user abuse.

Parts. All parts, maintenance kits, options kits, and accessories are warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for 90 days (except where otherwise noted) from date of purchase. This warranty becomes void if the item is modified, improperly installed or used, or damaged by accident or neglect.

Media

The Z4Mplus and Z6Mplus are capable of using various types of media. These include continuous roll and fanfold media as labels or card stock with optional perforations and registration holes.

Refer to Printer Basics on page 33 for a detailed description of loading label media and ribbon.

8	Z4Mplus and Z6Mplus User Guide

Printer Setup

Before You Begin

Ribbon

Ribbon is a thin film carrying wax or wax resin that is transferred to the media during the thermal transfer process. Direct thermal media does not require the use of a ribbon, but printhead life may be shortened because of the abrasion of direct contact with the media.

Printhead life may be reduced by the abrasion from exposed paper fibers when using perforated media. Refer to Printer Basics on page 33 for a detailed description of loading label media and ribbon.

Caution • The ribbon must be as wide or wider than the media being used. If the ribbon is narrower than the media, areas of the printhead are unprotected and subject to premature wear.

Note • When printing in direct thermal mode, ribbon is not used and should not be loaded into the printer.

Types of Media

The following is a description of the various types of media approved for use in the Z4Mplus and Z6Mplus printers.

Non-Continuous Web Media

Non-continuous web media (shown below) refers to individual labels separated by a gap, notch, or hole. When you look at the media, you can tell where one label ends and the next one begins. The illustration below shows samples of all three. The noncontinuous with gaps, is individual labels on a continuous liner.

Non-Continuous Black Mark Labels

Non-continuous black mark labels have black marks printed on the back of the liner indicating the start and end of each label (shown below).

Number Description

Continuous Media

Continuous media (shown below) is one uninterrupted roll of material without gaps, holes, notches, or black marks that allows the image to be printed anywhere on the label.

Z4Mplus and Z6Mplus User Guide

Printer Setup

Before You Begin

Print Mode

Print modes are displayed on the LCD on the front panel of the printer. Print modes should match the media and printer options chosen. Print mode choices are listed in the table below.

Mode	Printer Option	Action

Tear-Off Mode (Default setting)

Peel-Off Mode

Use for most applications.

Use only if printer has the peel option.

Each label or strip of labels can be torn off after printing.

Liner material is peeled away from the label as it is printed. After the printed label is removed the next label prints.

Cutter Mode	Use only if printer has a
	cutter option.
Rewind Mode	Use only if printer has
	the rewind option.

Printer automatically cuts the label after it is printed.

The media and/or liner are rewound onto a core as they are printed.

Printer Setup

Calibration

Auto Calibration

The Z4Mplus and Z6Mplus automatically calibrate on power up. During auto calibration, the printer determines the label length and sensor settings.

Auto calibration occurs when the printer is turned on and each time the printer recovers from an error condition. To clear an error, open and close the printhead assembly and then press PAUSE. The printer begins auto calibration when all errors have been cleared.

The results of the auto calibration are stored in the printer’s memory and are retained even if printer power is removed. These parameters remain in effect until the next calibration is performed.

Note • If the front panel setting for MEDIA POWER UP or HEAD CLOSE are set to LENGTH, NO MOTION, or FEED, the printer starts printing without auto calibrating.

Z4Mplus and Z6Mplus User Guide

Printer Setup

Printhead Pressure Adjustment

Refer to the illustration below.

This adjustment may be necessary if printing is too light on one side or if thick media is used.

Pressure Adjustment Dials

R L

The pressure adjustment dials for the Z4Mplus each have four possible settings designated by blocks of increasing size embossed on the print mechanism. The smallest block (fully counterclockwise) is considered position 1 and the largest block (fully clockwise) is considered position 4. The same is true for the Z6Mplus, except it has 7 positions.

Printhead Pressure Adjustment

Set Printhead Pressure

Use the tables below, depending upon which printer you have, to select the initial dial settings for your media.

Z4Mplus
Media Width	Left Dial	Right Dial

1 in. (25.4 mm)	3	1
2 in. (51 mm)	4	1
3 in. (76 mm)	3	2

4 in. (100 mm)	7	3
5 in. (125 mm)	7	4
5.5 in. and up (140 mm and up)	6	6

Some media types require higher pressure to print well. For these media, increase both dials one position. If the media tends to shift to the left while printing, increase the right dial setting one position or decrease the left dial setting one position. If the media tends to shift to the right while printing, increase the left dial setting one position or decrease the right dial setting one position.

Z4Mplus and Z6Mplus User Guide

Printer Setup

Rewind Media Alignment

The instructions below apply if the printer has a rewind option. Refer to the illustration below.

Note • The liner should be installed flush against the backplate of the take-up spindle to prevent the media/backing from winding too loosely.

Do the adjustments in the order given. Do only what is needed to solve the problem.

1.Turn the adjustment dial clockwise to align the media toward the mainframe.

2.Turn the dial counter clockwise to align the media away from the mainframe.
