Printing Technology
The P4T Series uses two methods to print human readible text, in Zebra’s RFID Programming Manual, available for download on
Zebra’s Web site.
graphics and barcodes: Direct Thermal, and Thermal Transfer
Direct Thermal
Direct thermal printing uses heat to cause a chemical reaction on
specially treated media.  This reaction creates a dark mark wherever a heated element on the printhead comes in contact with the
media. Since the printing elements are arranged very densely at
203 d.p.i. (dots per inch) or 8 dots per mm, highly legible characters
and graphic elements may be created a row at a time as the media
is advanced past the printhead. This technology has the advantage
of simplicity, as there is no requirement for consumable supplies
such as ink or toner.  However, since the media is sensitive to heat,
it will gradually loose legibility over long periods of time, especially
if exposed to environments with relatively high temperatures.
Appendices
Radio Regulatory
Information
Thermal Transfer
Index
Thermal transfer printing uses the same basic technology as direct
thermal, except that the printhead elements react with a transfer
film which passes between the printhead and the media. The printing process fuses the thermal transfer material to the media being
printed and creates characters and graphic images that are very
dark, and more permanent than those created by direct thermal
printing. Offsetting this advantage is the extra cost of the thermal
transfer film and printing speeds slower than those required for
direct thermal printing.

Battery Safety
The Battery Packs used on Zebra Mobile Printers contain a great deal of energy and can cause personal injury or start a fire if used
improperly or carelessly. Please observe the following safety practices:
Caution • Avoid accidental short circuiting of any battery. Allowing battery terminals to contact conductive material will
create a short circuit which could cause burns and other injuries or could start a fire.
Caution • Batteries  can explode or catch fire if improperly charged or exposed to high temperatures or fire.  Do not disassemble,
crush or expose batteries to water.
Caution • Use of any charger not approved specifically by Zebra for use with its batteries could cause damage to the battery
pack or the printer and will void the warranty.
Read carefully and always observe the safety guidelines for Li-ion batteries provided with each Battery Pack.

Optional Step for label stock only
Refer to Figure 7.5.
The label peeler feature allows automatic separation of the printed
label from its backing.
1.If you wish to use the label peeling feature, remove enough
labels from the media roll to create a leader approximately 4”
[100 mm.] long.
2. Align the media as it emerges from the printhead with the
index marks on the top cover to ensure it will pass through
the peeler assembly without wrinkling.
2. Feed the leader you created in step 1  over the peeler bar and
into the peeler assembly.
3 Push on the peeler assembly where shown in Figure 6.5.  
Insert the leader into the label peeler as shown and push on
the media roll until it emerges from the slot at the rear of the
peeler assembly.

Media Core Size
Media supplied for the P4T Series printers will have two possible core sizes, depending on
the media type. Journal media
and most label media is supplied
with a 0.75” [19.1 mm] diameter
core to maximize the amount of
media contained on a roll.
P4T printer media supports are
set at the factory for 0.75” diameter media cores.
RP4T printers (equipped with
the RFID encoder) are configured
for media with 1.38” [35.05 mm]
diameter cores since RFID media cannot be wound around
a small diameter core without
both degrading its ability to feed
properly past the printhead and
causing possible damage to the
embedded RFID circuitry.

The printer must establish communications with a host device which sends the data to be printed. Communications occur in three
basic ways:
• By a cable between the printer and its host terminal using either RS232C or USB protocols
• By means of a Bluetooth short-range radio frequency link
• By means of a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) per 802.11b/g specifications

Wireless Communications with Bluetooth®
“Bluetooth” is a worldwide standard for the exchange of data
between two devices via radio frequencies. Bluetooth radios are
relatively low powered to help prevent interference with other devices running at similar radio frequencies. This limits the range of
a Bluetooth device to about 10 meters (about 32 feet).
Both the printer and the device it communicates with must follow
the Bluetooth standard.
Dual radio equipped P4T units will have a Bluetooth radio FCC
ID “T.B.D.” and 802.11b Compact flash radio  FCC ID “T.B.D.”.
The FCC ID numbers and other regulatory information for both
radios are also located on the serial number label of printers
built for the North American region.

802.11b/g and Bluetooth Co-located Radio
Modules
The following section only applies when the CF (Compact Flash) WLAN module (With FCC
ID:TBD) and Bluetooth module (FCC ID:TBD) are installed in a P4T printer. This colocated radio configuration has demonstrated compliance to FCC regulations. The FCC
ID numbers are on the serial number label on the back of the printer and can be read with
the module installed.
Caution • Use of a P4T printer with the radio module
marked with both “FCC ID:TBD” and “TBD” meets the FCC
requirements for radio frequency (RF) radiation exposure
in the standard body worn configuration with no minimum
separation. In this configuration, which applies whether the
belt clip or shoulder strap is used, the face of the printer
from which paper is transported is facing away from the
user’s body. The standard configuration must always be
used when the printer is body worn.
