Standard Printer Fonts

Fonts A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and GS are expandable up to 10 times, height and width independently.  However, fonts E and H (OCR-A and OCR-B) are not considered "in-spec" when expanded.
The scalable smooth font 0 (CG Triumvirate™ Bold Condensed) is expandable on a dot-by-dot basis, height and width independent, while maintaining smooth edges.  Maximum character size depends on available memory.
IBM Code Page 850 international character sets are available in the fonts A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and 0 through software control.

Preventative Maintenance:

Zebra recommends cleaning the printer on a regular basis using standard Zebra printer parts and cleaning supplies. Consult your User's Guide for further details.

• Cleaning:
  The exterior is cleaned with a lint-free cloth, and if necessary, a mild detergent solution or desktop cleaner. Interior components (print head, platen roller, media sensor, peel bar, ribbon and media paths) are cleaned with alcohol or blown air to remove any particles.

• Lubrication:
  All mechanical parts are self-lubricating and do not require additional lubrication.

• Print Registration:
  Media registration and minimum label length are affected by media type and width, ribbon type and print speed.  Performance improves as these factors are optimized.  Zebra recommends always qualifying any application with thorough testing.

• Print Head Replacement:

  For optimal printing quality and proper printer performance across our product line, Zebra strongly recommends the use of genuine Zebra supplies as part of the total solution.  Specifically, the ZM400 and ZM600 printers are designed to work only with genuine Zebra printheads, thus maximizing safety and print quality.
