Pre-install Windows® Printer Drivers
8/4/10 GK420d™ User Guide 980608-001 Rev. C
Pre-install Windows
®
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 users CD and the
Zebra web site (www.zebra.com
) for latest versions.
ZebraDesigner™ Driver and Zebra Setup Utilities (includes the driver): Supports
Windows 7
®
, Windows Vista
®
, Windows XP
®
, Windows
®
2000
®
, Windows Server
®
2008,
and Windows Server
®
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 printers 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.
