Connecting your Printer to a Device

Zebra printers support a variety of interface options and configurations.
Printer interface options include:
  • Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface
  • RS-232 Serial
  • Parallel (IEEE 1284.4)
  • 10/100 Ethernet
The Zebra Setup Utilities application is designed to help you install these interfaces. Review the cabling and unique parameters for each physical printer communication interface in Interface Cable Requirements and Interface Wiring. This will help you make your configuration setup choices before and immediately after applying power to the printer.
Keep the power switch in the OFF position when attaching the interface cable. The power cord must be inserted into the power supply and the power receptacle on the back of the printer before you connect or disconnect the communications cables.
Zebra Setup Utilities configuration wizards will instruct you to turn printer power ON at the appropriate time to complete the printer installation.
