Setting Up the Printer (Process Overview)

This process overview provides general information, with detailed steps in other sections.
  1. Place the printer in a safe location with access to power and where you can connect interface cables or wirelessly to the system. See Select a Location for the Printer.
  2. Attach the printer and power supply to a grounded AC power source.
  3. Select and prepare media for your printer (see Media).
  4. Load the media (see Loading the Media).
  5. Turn the printer power ON (see POWER Button).
  6. Run a SmartCal Media calibration to calibrate the printer to the media (see Running a SmartCal Media Calibration).
  7. Print a Configuration Report to verify basic printer operation (see Test Printing with the Configuration Report).
  8. Turn printer power OFF.
  9. Set up the USB port wired connection.
  10. If using a physical connection, attach the printer cable to the network or host system with printer power OFF.
    Wait to turn the printer power ON. Install the drivers first using the Zebra Setup Utilities (see Setup for Windows OS  for details). The setup utility will prompt you to turn the printer power ON at the appropriate point in the setup process. If you connected the central device to the printer and turned the printer power ON before installing the drivers, see What To Do If You Forget to Install the Printer Drivers First.
  11. Begin the second phase of the printer setup, typically Setup for Windows OS.
