Zebra ZD Series printers which are equipped with the Wi-Fi connectivity option have support for Bluetooth Low Energy (low-speed connection). You can configure them using Zebra Setup Utilities installed on an Android or iOS device.
Be sure to review the cabling and unique parameters for each physical printer communication interface. This will help you set up the printer with the correct settings. For detailed instructions on configuring network (Ethernet / Wi-Fi) and Bluetooth communication, see the Wired and Wireless Print Server User Guide and the Bluetooth Wireless Guide available from the product information links listed in About this Guide.
Switch printer power OFF.
Connect the printer to the computer or device you will use to manage the printer using your selected connection method (USB, Ethernet / LAN, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth).
The central device may be a Windows PC or laptop running the operating systems listed in Setup for Windows, an Android device, or an Apple device. Supported printer connection options are Wired/Ethernet, USB, and Wireless, Bluetooth Classic, and Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE).
Zebra Setup Utilities (ZSU) are designed to assist you with installing these interfaces. To download the ZSU user guide, go to zebra.com/setup.
Wait to turn printer power ON until you are instructed to do so by the Installation Wizard. 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.
The ZSU wizard installs the Zebra Windows drivers.
When the ZSU installation wizard prompts you do to so, turn printer power ON, then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the printer setup.
