 Printer Drivers 
Zebra is changing the way you install and use your printer with your Windows based PC 
systems. We recommend that at minimum, the ZebraDesigner™ Windows
®
 driver be pre-
installed to take advantage of the advancements in ease of use and simplicity of the Windows 
operating systems since the release of Windows XP
®
 SP2.
Zebra provides the Zebra Setup Utilities (ZSU); a suite of Zebra
®
 printer drivers, utilities, and 
communications and installation tools for use with most Windows PC operating systems. 
Zebra Setup Utilities and Zebra Windows printer drivers are available on the user’s CD and the 
Zebra web site (
www.zebra.com
) for latest versions.
ZebraDesigner™ Driver and Zebra Setup Utilities (includes the driver): Supports 
Windows 7

®
 2003 operating systems. The driver supports 32 bit and 64 bit Windows 
operating systems and is Microsoft Certified. Zebra Setup Utilities and the ZebraDesigner 
driver support the following G-Series printer communication interfaces: USB, parallel, serial, 
Wired and Wireless Ethernet and Bluetooth (using a Bluetooth virtual printer port).
Install the Zebra Setup Utilities before applying power to the printer connected to the PC 
(running a Zebra driver supported Windows operating system). The Zebra Setup Utility will 
prompt you to apply the printer power. Continue to follow the instructions to complete your 
printer installation.
Plug’N’Play (PnP) Printer Detection and Windows
®
 operating systems
More recent Windows operating systems automatically detect the printer when it is connected 
via the USB interface. Depending on the hardware configuration and the Windows version, 
your printer may be Plug-and-Play (PnP) detected when connecting to the USB, parallel, or 
serial port interfaces. The printer drivers do not support serial port PnP installation at this 
time.The printer’s PC interface configuration for the parallel port must support and have 
bidirectional communications for PnP operations.
The operating system automatically starts a “Add new hardware’ wizard when connecting the 
printer for the first time to the PC. If you have pre-loaded the driver suite with the Zebra Setup 
Utility, then the printer driver will automatically install. Go to your Windows printer directory 
and right-click and select ‘Properties’. Click on the ‘Print test page’ button to verify a 
successful installation.
The Windows operating system will detect and re-link a previously installed printer if it is 
reconnected to the USB interface or if printer power is turned on after the PC has finished its 
restart of the operating system. Ignore the new device detected warnings and close the Task bar 
prompts. Wait several seconds for the operating system to match the printer to the driver 
software. The warnings will quit and the printer now should be ready to begin printing.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Device Communications
The printer is a terminal device (not a host or hub) when using a USB interface. You can refer 
to the USB Specification for details regarding this interface.
Note • 
Scanners, scales or other data input (terminal) devices must use the serial port (not the 
USB port) to send data to the printer.
