Preparing the Printer for Use
After you have familiarized yourself with the printer components, prepare the printer for use.
To set up the printer, complete these steps:
1. Select a location for the printer that meets these conditions:
• The surface must be solid and level of sufficient size and strength to hold the printer.
• The area must include enough space for ventilation and for accessing the printer
components and connectors
• The printer should be within a short distance of an appropriate power outlet that is
easily accessible
• The printer must be within range of your WLAN radio (if applicable) or within an
acceptable range for other connectors to reach your data source (usually a computer).
For more information on maximum cable lengths and configuration, refer to the User
Guide.
2. Unpack and inspect the printer. If necessary, report any shipping damage. For more
information, refer to the User Guide.
3. Place the printer in the preselected location.
4.
Caution • When you are loading media or ribbon, remove all jewelry that could come into
contact with the printhead or other printer parts.
Caution • Before touching the printhead assembly, discharge any built-up static electricity
by touching the metal printer frame or by using an anti-static wriststrap and mat.
Important • You must install the Zebra Setup Utilities program before connecting the
printer to your computer. Your computer will not install the correct printer drivers if you
connect the printer to it without the Zebra Setup Utilities program.
Install the Zebra Setup Utilities program from http://www.zebra.com/setup. Use this
program to install the printer drivers on your computer. For detailed instructions, refer to
the User Guide.
