Technical Note 9 - Installing the 
Windows Printer Driver
First things first
For any of the operations described in this section you 
need the P640i Driver Software. This is on the Driver 
CD. It may also be downloaded from the Zebra 
Support Web page.
Driver CD
If you have the CD, place it in the computer’s CD-
ROM drive. This will display the Zebra Printer Setup 
screen. Follow the screen instructions to Uninstall or 
Install, referring where necessary to the additional 
information in this section.
Download 
Downloaded software comes to you as a self-
executing application, available from zebracard.com/
atlantek. Before you download, make a note of the file 
name, and where it will be saved on the computer’s 
hard drive: 
1. Click Download, then choose somewhere to store 
the file temporarily (the Desktop is a convenient 
location). 
2. Navigate to that location, then launch the Printer 
Installer by double clicking the downloaded file.
3. Click OK. This brings up the WinZip Self-
Extractor, which will put the unzipped 
(decompressed) files in their default location 
(c:\zebra\driver), unless you choose a different 
location. Click Unzip. The Self-Extractor will 
then announce that it has successfully unzipped a 
number of files.
4. Navigate to c:\zebra\driver, or to the alternate 
location you specified, then double click 
setup.exe. This displays the Zebra Printer Setup 
screen. You are now at the same stage as if you 
had inserted the Driver CD.
Uninstalling the printer driver
Go to the Zebra Printer Setup screen from the Driver 
CD or from the downloaded software, see above.
1. Click Uninstall Printers and Drivers.
2. In the next window to appear, click Uninstall 
Printer Drivers. Complete the process by re-
starting the computer.
Windows file missing 
Recover the missing Windows file as follows:
1. Navigate to c:\windows\inf (Windows XP) or 
c:\winnt\inf (Windows 2000).
2. Find the file named usbprint.in, then rename it to 
usbprint.inf.
Important • 
If the computer you are 
working on has ever run a Zebra Atlantek 
printer, uninstall all previous versions of the 
driver before installing the new one. You can 
NOT
 uninstall a printer driver using the 
Add/Re-move Programs procedure in 
Windows, or by deleting a printer icon from 
the list of Printers and Faxes.
Important • 
Windows 2000 and Windows 
XP install printer drivers in different ways. 
Although the overall process is similar, the 
dialog boxes are not identical. The screen 
shots in this section are for Windows XP. 
Caution • If the computer you are 
configuring for a USB connection to the 
P640i has at some time run an Eltron 
C-Series printer, a Windows file 
necessary for the P640i installation will 
be missing.
