Step-By-Step Instructions To Load Media With The Peel Option On The Zebra ZT111

To load media with the peel option on a Zebra ZT111 printer, follow these troubleshooting and reset steps:

1. Open the media cover.
2. Release the printhead: lift the printhead lever so that the printhead assembly pivots upward.
3. Slide the outer media guide fully outward.
4. Load the media so that:
• The media passes through the slot in the transmissive media sensor.
• It goes under the inner media guide.
• The media should just touch the back of the transmissive sensor slot (i.e. it’s close but not pushing).
5. Push down the peel-off mechanism release lever to open the peel assembly.
6. Extend about 500 mm (≈18 in.) of media out of the printer. Remove and discard the labels in that exposed section, leaving just the liner (backing).
7. Feed the liner (backing) behind the peel assembly, making sure the liner’s end is exiting the printer (i.e. the liner isn’t trapped).
8. Close the peel assembly by using the peel-off mechanism release lever (use your right hand). Be careful — the edges can pinch fingers.
9. Slide in the outer media guide so it just touches the edge of the media.
10. Close the printhead assembly (lower the printhead lever).
11. Close the media cover.
12. Press PAUSE to exit pause mode and enable printing. The printer may calibrate or feed a label depending on settings.
13. Optionally verify by printing a configuration label (hold FEED + CANCEL for 2 seconds).
