Installation

How to Install Zebra Printer Drivers.
Drivers can be installed from the Windows "Add Printer Wizard" or using the Installation Utility that came with the driver. NOTE: your user account must have the necessary rights to install a driver otherwise contact your system administrator for further assistance.
To install using the Installation Utility:

1. Uncompress the driver files. Be sure to note the location that the files are placed into.
2. Run the PrnInst.exe utility.
3. Follow the prompts to select the printer model and port that you will be using.
4. The Utility will ask if you want to install the Font and Graphic Downloader and Status Monitor - select these items if they are needed in your application.
5. The Utility will install the appropriate files.

To install the driver using the Windows "Add Printer Wizard".

1. Uncompress the driver files. Be sure to note the location that the files are placed into.
2. Using the START menu select "Settings" and then "Printers". The Printers folder will open up.
3. Double click on "Add Printer" and follow the prompts to begin the installation process.
4. When you come to the dialog screen that lists Manufacturers and Printers, select "Have disk".
5. Browse to the location that contains the uncompressed driver files.
6. Select the ZBRN.inf file in the ZBRN folder and click "OK" to continue.
7. Select your printer model from the list of supported printers and click the Next button to continue.
8. If your printer is connected via a RS-232 serial connection, select "No" to the question "Would you like to print a test page?". This is suggested to avoid an error message in case you have not configured the port on the computer to match the serial settings on the printer. If your printer is connected via a parallel port and is ready to print, select "Yes" to print the test page.
9. Follow the remaining prompts to complete the Wizard. Once the install is done your printer driver is now installed and ready for use.

Tips & Advice

1. Use the Use Printer Settings option on the Advanced Tab to stop the driver from sending the printer configuration and save configuration commands. This has the effect of improving throughput in some applications.
2. For ZPL printers, use the use ZIP compression option on the Other Settings dialog to cause the driver to create compressed graphics. This has the effect of improving throughput in some applications.
3. It is recommended that an Administrator account be used when installing the driver.
4. Microsoft Word splits strings into single characters. To avoid this select "Merge characters" option on driver's "Printer settings" tab.
5. The Status Monitor regularly checks the printer for current status information. When the driver is being used over a network connection, this can have the effect of consuming connection ports that would otherwise be used for accepting print jobs at the printer. If the Status Monitor is in use and you are experiencing a delay in printing, try right clicking over the Status Monitor in the system tray (by the clock) and closing the Status Monitor.

Known Issues

1. The drivers will not print more than 32767 copies of a document. This is a Windows limitation.
2. Graphics print best when a monochrome image is used. Because Zebra printers are monochrome printers, color and grayscale images will be printed using the dithering method you select on the Options tab. There are four available dithering methods, each offering some control over the final printed image. However, monochrome images will print in a more predictable fashion.
3. When using Word, the application forces the driver to insert spaces into any edited line of text using the ZPL Font 0 (ZB:Zebra CG Triumvirate). If you save the document after editing the text, but before printing it, the spaces will not be inserted on the printed label.
4. Not all Applications will read internal font information from drivers. Some applications will not present the list of native fonts and bar codes even if the operating system is restarted after installing and the driver is set as the default driver. This is a limitation of some applications.
5. The Command Font Prefix and Suffix value are inserted before and after each character of text in Command Font when an EPL or CPCL printer driver is used. Microsoft Word splits strings into single characters. To avoid this select "Merge characters" option on driver's "Printer settings" tab.
6. In Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2, some applications do not allow the fonts that are native on the printer to be displayed as selectable when the user accesses the Properties of a field. In most applications they are displayed and selectable from the Fonts drop-down menu.
7. If Permissions on the computer do not allow the driver to write in the Registry then the Command Fonts and/or Stocks Tabs in the driver dialogs will have buttons disabled. To change Command Fonts and Stocks, open the Printers folder the in Control Panel, select the printer and then open its "Printing Preferences". Then the user will be able to modify Command Fonts and Stocks. These properties are set per device and not per document.
8. When the passthrough start/end character combination includes the {} characters, data may not be passed through when using newer web browser versions including, but not limited to Internet Explorer®, Google Chrome™ and Firefox®. Use a start/end character combination that does not include {}.
9. The P4T and RP4T printers contain firmware supporting a subset of ZPL commands. As a result, when using the P4T or RP4T ZPL driver, some functionality in the tools section is not supported by the printer. The "Feed one label" option may not work and can be substituted by sending: ! U1 do "test.feed" "now".
10. When using ZebraDesigner Pro v2.5.0.x, the RFID Read and Print functionality is supported for Text and 1D barcode fields only. 2D barcode types are not supported.

The about dialog graphic has been updated to reflect new branding. Support for the ^RL RFID command is supported for use with ZebraDesigner. The help file has been updated with the new corporate address and references removed to operating systems no longer supported. Corrected print speed limits in ZD500 and ZT410 EPL drivers. Corrected an issue in the Font & Graphic Downloader where it generated the same file name for different size fonts. Microsoft has ended extended support for Windows Server 2003. This driver release aligns to that decision, with support for Windows Server 2003 having been removed. The prior version, 2.7.03.16, does support Windows Server 2003 and shall remain available on our website for download for an extended period of time. Version 2.7.03.16 is available 'as is'. There is nothing implemented to prevent this driver from running on Windows Server 2003. However, this and future versions are not tested on Windows Server 2003.
26 Feb 2016 | 5.1.07.6290 | Update Release The Status Monitor installer now includes Zebra's digital signature.
