To install the cutter on your Zebra ZT211 printer, follow these steps:

Install The Cutter

1. Open the Printhead Assembly
   Release the printhead assembly by rotating the printhead-open lever upward. This will pivot the assembly upward.
2. Remove the Outer Media Guide
   Slide the outer media guide all the way out to provide space for the cutter installation.
3. Feed the Media Through the Cutter
   Carefully feed your media through the cutter mechanism. Be cautious, as the cutter blade is sharp.
4. Reinstall the Outer Media Guide
   Slide the outer media guide back in until it just touches the edge of the media.
5. Close the Printhead Assembly
   Rotate the printhead-open lever downward to lock the printhead assembly in place.
6. Insert the Cutter Catch Tray (Optional)
   If desired, insert the cutter catch tray into the slot on the front of the cutter to collect cut labels.
7. Close the Media Cover
   Ensure the media cover is securely closed.
8. Set the Printer to Cutter Mode
   Navigate to the printer’s settings and set the print mode to “Cutter” under the “Label Position” settings.
9. Exit Pause Mode
   Press the PAUSE button to exit pause mode and enable printing. The printer may perform a label calibration or feed a label, depending on your settings.
10. Calibrate the Printer
    For optimal results, calibrate the printer. Refer to the printer’s manual for instructions on calibrating the ribbon and media sensors.
11. Verify Printer Functionality
    To verify that your printer is able to print a configuration label, hold both the FEED and CANCEL keys for 2 seconds.

Important Safety Notes
