Zebra ZD410 Settings
1. Install labels into printer
- Unpack printer and plug into power.
- Load labels into printer. They go face up.
- Roll yellow wheel in bottom of label compartment to lock the brackets width.
- Check sensor: Move one notch to right ~1/8 inch so sensor lines up with through-hole (2022 Beta labels: leave this at default location).
- Close lid.
2. Calibrate printer Â
- Press power on button and wait for it to turn green.
- With printer turned on, press both Pause and X until calibration starts (about 4 seconds). Let it finish.
- Press feed (center button) to feed a label. If it does not feed a single label, recalibrate.
- When calibration is done, press Pause to unpause the printer if needed.
- Note: If you cannot reliably feed a single label, eVisitor will probably not be able to print.
3. Configure Windows
- Plug in USB cable. Driver usually loads automatically, give it some time.
- If it doesn’t load, get driver.
- Manage, Preferences, Maintenance, Reset to set the driver to factory defaults .
- Page Setup, Height: 4.75 for Tab-Expiring (4″ for Full or Non-expiring, 5.5″ for Tandem).
- Media Type: Leave on Labels with Gaps, or set to Lables with notches if needed. (2022 Beta labels: labels with black marks).
- Print test page.
- Note: If you cannot reliably print several test pages, eVisitor will probably not be able to print.
4. Configure eVisitor
- Log into eVisitor
- Settings, Devices: “Reset Printer settings to default”.
- Be sure your eVisitor template is for the correct size label. Typically 4″. Be sure your template type is correct. Tab is type 1
- Test by printing a label from eVisitor.
If you are NOT using eVisitor, try:
- Setting label Height
- Set to landscape
Note on MS Windows idiosyncracies:
Setting the Printing Preferences will set the printer properly for the current windows user only (Windows logon)
Setting the Printer Properties / Preferences will set the printer for other new windows users (other Windows logons)
Troubleshooting:
- Calibration: Press buttons 1 and 3. Zebra how-to video
- Factory defaults: Press and hold PAUSE + FEED while turning ON the printer until the Status indicator is the only indicator lit
- If you are getting multiple labels when you print, try these steps:
- Ensure the sensor is in alignment with the left hand hole
- Ensure the yellow roll brackets are not too tight squeezing the roll
- Clean the paper path so the labels feed smoothly
- Recalibrate the printer by pressing PAUSE and X for about 4 seconds.
- You can try slowing the printer down to reduce initial slippage.
- Ask to try our new black-bar labels.
Full Reset of Zebra, if needed
Note:
This assumes that your Zebra ZD410 can work properly but needs to be fully reset, calibrated and tested. This is all done without needing a computer. Just the printer, power cord, and labels.
If you cannot get the configuration page to print, there is no point trying to get eVisitor to print.
