Step-By-Step Instructions To Load Media With The Peel Option On The Zebra ZT211

To load media into your Zebra ZT211 printer with the Peel-Off option, follow these steps:

Loading Media In Peel-Off Mode

1. Open the Printhead Assembly
   Press the printhead open lever to release and lift the printhead assembly.
2. Slide Out the Outer Media Guide
   Extend the outer media guide to its maximum width.
3. Insert the Media
   Feed the media under the printhead assembly, ensuring it passes through the transmissive media sensor slot and under the inner media guide. The media should just touch the back of the transmissive media sensor slot.
4. Open the Peel Assembly
   Press down the peel-off mechanism release lever to open the peel assembly.
5. Extend the Media
   Pull approximately 500 mm (18 inches) of media through the front of the printer.
6. Remove Labels
   Remove and discard the labels from the exposed media, leaving only the liner.
7. Feed the Liner
   Feed the liner behind the peel assembly, ensuring the end of the liner falls outside of the printer.
8. Close the Peel Assembly
   Use the peel-off mechanism release lever and your right hand to close the peel assembly. Avoid using your left hand to assist in closing, as the top edge of the peel roller assembly could pinch your fingers.
9. Adjust the Outer Media Guide
   Slide in the outer media guide until it just touches the edge of the media.
10. Close the Printhead Assembly
    Lower the printhead assembly and ensure it locks into place.
11. Close the Media Door
    Securely close the media door.
12. 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.
13. Verify Printer Operation
    Press and hold both the FEED and CANCEL buttons for 2 seconds to print a configuration label, verifying that your printer is able to print.
