USB Host
The optional USB host port allows you to connect USB devices—such as a keyboard, scanner,
or USB Flash drive—to the printer. The exercises in this section will teach you how to perform
USB mirror, how to transfer files to and from the printer, and how to provide information for
which you are prompted and then print a label using that information.
Exercise 1: Copy Files to a USB Flash Drive and Perform USB Mirror
1. On your USB Flash Drive, create the following:
• a folder called
Zebra
• in that folder, three subfolders:
•
appl
• commands
• files
2. In the /appl folder, place a copy of the latest firmware for your printer.
3. In the /files folder, place the following file:
• File 1: ZEBRA.BMP
4. In the /commands folder, place the following files:
• File 2: SAMPLELABEL.TXT
• File 3: LOGO.ZPL
5. Insert the USB Flash drive into a USB host port on the front of your printer.
Important • When using the USB host port, files should be named only with 1 to 16
alphanumeric characters (A, a, B, b, C, c, ..., 0, 1, 2, 3, ...). Do not use Asian characters,
Cyrillic characters, or accented characters in file names.
Some functions may not work properly if there are underscores in a file name. Use periods
instead.
Note • Some functions may not work properly if there are underscores in a file name.
Use periods instead.
