Identifying Platen Drive Rollers Types

Identifying Platen Drive Rollers Types

The platen (drive) rollers are colored differently to identify the platen type and print resolution of your printer (and the platen).
Do NOT exchange platen types unless you are specifically instructed to do so either by an upgrade procedure or by Zebra Technical Support. If incorrect platens are used, the printer will stop operating properly, and this may cause a variety of problems that would require maintenance.
