The Setup guidelines below will take you to English documentation. You can access the localized User Guides in the DOCUMENTATION tab. 

IMPORTANT! Do not connect your printer to a computer yet! 

  • If you connected your printer to a computer via USB before driver installation, the printer might appear as an unknown (unspecified) device in “Devices and Printers.” 
  • If necessary, follow these recovery steps before proceeding to Step 1. 

1. Download and install the recommended Windows Printer Driver v10.

2.  Connect the printer.

3. Load media (media usually means labels, but it also includes tag stock, receipt paper, and other things that can be printed on).

4. When using thermal transfer media, load the ribbon

5. Print a test label.

6. Calibrate ribbon and media sensors.

  • When changing the size or type of media. 
  • If printing issues are observed, such as skipped labels, vertical image/label drift, or ribbon out or media out errors.
  • You can watch the English video. Some non-English videos are available in the VIDEOS tab.

7. The printer settings must match the actual supplies that you are using for your print job and the options on your printer. Adjust the printer settings as necessary using Zebra Setup Utilities software or Windows Printer Driver v8

8. Setting up RFID.
Purchase RFID labels specific to your application. Zebra offers a wide selection of existing labels that could meet your needs, or custom labels can be designed for you. https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/supplies/rfid-labels-tags.html
