the list of ZDesigner printers.

Printer Drivers
Install the Zebra Setup Utilities (ZSU) before applying power to the printer connected to the
PC (running a Zebra driver supported Windows operating system). The utility installs the Zebra
Windows drivers first. The ZSU installation wizard will then prompt you to apply the printer power.
Continue to follow the instructions to complete your printer installation.
The Zebra Setup Utility is designed to assist you with installing these interfaces. The
cabling and unique parameters for each of these physical printer communication interfaces is
discussed in the following pages to assist you with making configuration setup choices prior to
and immediately following applying power. The Zebra Setup Utilities configuration wizards will
instruct you to turn the printer’s power on at the appropriate time to complete the installation of
your printer.
