FAQs
What type of printer is required for Zebra Z-Select 2000D tags?
You need a direct thermal printer. These printers use heat to create an image and do not require a ribbon.
Are these labels waterproof?
No, these are paper labels and are not waterproof. They are also susceptible to fading from heat and direct sunlight.
What does 'BPA Free' mean for these labels?
'BPA Free' means the labels do not contain Bisphenol A, a chemical that has raised health concerns. They are also free from Bisphenol S (BPS).
How many labels are on each roll?
Each roll contains 450 labels.
What is the core size of the label roll?
The core size is 25.4mm (1 inch) in diameter, which is standard for most desktop label printers.
Can I use these labels with a thermal transfer printer?
No, these are specifically designed for direct thermal printing and will not work with thermal transfer printers, which require a ribbon.
What is the shelf life of unused labels?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place away from light, unused direct thermal labels typically have a shelf life of one to two years before print quality may begin to degrade.
Troubleshooting
Labels not printing correctly (faint, missing lines)
Ensure the printer is a direct thermal printer. Clean the printer's print head. Check that the label is loaded correctly and the print darkness/speed settings are appropriate for this label type.
Labels peeling off or not sticking well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or oils. The application surface temperature should be within the adhesive's operating range. Verify the label material is appropriate for the surface type.
Printer is not recognizing the label roll
Confirm the label roll is properly seated and the printer's media sensors are clean. Check that the label size is correctly configured in the printer settings.
Print fading quickly
This is inherent to direct thermal technology. Store printed items away from heat sources and direct sunlight. For archival purposes, consider a thermal transfer label.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have a compatible direct thermal printer. This label material does not work with thermal transfer printers.
- Load the roll into your printer, ensuring it is seated correctly and the label path is clear.
- Use your printer's software or driver to configure the label size (102x76mm) and print settings.
Compatibility:
- Printers: Designed for Zebra desktop direct thermal printers, but generally compatible with other brands that support 102x76mm direct thermal labels and have a 25.4mm core.
- Environment: Best suited for indoor use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, high heat, or abrasive surfaces.
Care:
- Storage: Store unused rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
- Cleaning: Clean your printer's print head regularly according to the printer manufacturer's instructions to maintain print quality and prevent damage to the labels or the printer.
- Handling: Avoid touching the printed surface immediately after printing, as direct thermal prints can smudge if handled too soon.
