Printer Setup Overview
The setup process can be broken down into two (2) phases: hardware setup and host system
(software/driver) setup. This section covers the physical hardware setup to print the first label.
• Install any printer hardware options first. See Install Hardware Options.
• Place the printer in a safe location with access to power and where it can connect wired or
wirelessly to the printer to the host system.
• Attach the printer and power supply to a grounded AC power source.
• Select and prepare media for your printer.
• Load the media.
• Turn the printer ON. Calibrate the media with a SmartCal Media calibration.
• Print a ‘Configuration Report’ to verify basic printer operation.
• Turn the printer OFF.
• Choose a method to communicate via a wired or wireless connection to your printer. Available wired
local connections are:
• USB port
