Zebra 02000GT08430 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Zebra 02000GT08430 is a 84mm wide by 300m long wax ribbon, featuring a 25mm core. This consumable is critical for producing durable, high-contrast thermal transfer labels and tags on compatible Zebra printers. It's designed for applications where print permanence is required, but extreme environmental resistance is not the primary concern, such as general inventory tracking or shipping labels. The 'Custom, Notched' designation indicates specific alignment features for certain media types. This ribbon is typically packaged 24 units per box.

Compatibility

This 84mm x 300m wax ribbon with a 25mm core is designed for use with specific Zebra thermal transfer printers that accept this ribbon width and core size. Consult your printer's documentation to confirm compatibility, as using incorrect ribbon dimensions can lead to print quality issues or damage to the printhead. It is suitable for printers requiring a 25mm (1-inch) core diameter.

Installation Notes

Ensure the printer is powered off before installing or replacing the ribbon. Align the ribbon spool correctly on the ribbon spindle and the take-up spool on the ribbon spindle. Ensure the ribbon is taut and properly threaded through the print path. Avoid touching the ribbon surface with bare hands, as oils and dirt can degrade print quality. The ribbon should be installed with the ink side facing the media.
