2A. Load the media

(continued):

  Loading media from an external supply. Refer to Figure 7.

The QL 420 has a loading slot in the rear of the media com-

partment which allows you to use standard 4” (101.6 mm)

wide fan-fold media from an external supply.  The external

supply must be designed such that it does not exert excessive

drag as media is fed through the printer, which could result in

distorted printing.

Zebra can provide a vehicle mount (p/n DC16620-1) de-

signed specifically for the QL 420 which incorporates an exter-

nal media supply bin.

• Pull the media supports apart, insert a Media Spacer

(Zebra part number BA16625-1) between them, and

let the media supports close.

Insert the media from the

external supply through the

rear feed slot, between the

media guides and up

through the media compart-

ment as shown.

Make sure the

side of the

media you will

be printing on

faces the

print head.
