Printer Setup for Android and iOS

The faster you get new equipment up and running, the more quickly you can achieve your return on investment. With Zebra’s Printer Setup Utility—part of Zebra DNA—configuring your Zebra printers to optimise performance is easy and requires no specialised knowledge.

An Easy Way to Configure Your Printers

Use the Printer Setup Utility app to connect to your printer using Bluetooth, Bluetooth LE, Wi-FiTM, Wired, or NFC. Then follow one of the intuitive setup wizards that walk you through setting specific printing parameters—including connectivity, media, print quality, calibration, and printer language—to optimise your printer performance.

Get More Efficient with Multiple Printer Setup

The more time it takes you to set up a new printer, the greater the productivity loss. Zebra’s Printer Setup Utility app can help save hours or even days during the printer setup process. Previously, setting up multiple printers required repeating the same steps over and over again for each printer. The Zebra Printer Setup Utility app allows you to quickly set up multiple printers by retrieving a setup file stored in the cloud and distributing it to each printer.
