After Your Printer is Connected
Now that you have basic communication to your printer, you may want to test printer
communications and then install other printer related applications, drivers or utilities.
Testing Communications by Printing
Verifying the print system’s operation is a relatively simple process. For Windows operating
systems, the Zebra Setup Utility or the Windows ‘Printers and Faxes’ Control Panel to access
and print a test label. For non-Windows operation systems, coping a basic ASCII text file with
a single command (~WC) to print a configuration status label.
Test Printing with Zebra Setup Utility:
1.
Open the Zebra Setup Utility.
2.
Click on the newly install printer’s icon to select the printer and active the printer
configuration buttons below it in the window.
3.
Click the ‘Open Printer Tools’ button.
4.
In the ‘Print’ tab window, click on the ‘Print configuration label’ line and click on the
‘Send’ button. The printer should print a configuration status label.
Test Printing with Windows ‘Printer and Faxes’ menu:
1.
Click on the Windows ‘Start’ menu button, to access the ‘Printers and Faxes’ menu or
‘Control Panel’ to access the ‘Printers and Faxes’ menu. Open the menu.
2.
Select the newly install printer’s icon to select the printer and right-click the mouse to
access the printer ‘Properties’ menu.
3.
From the printer’s ‘General’ tab window, click on the ‘Print Test Page’ button. The printer
should print a Windows test print page.
Test Print on a Ethernet printer connected to a network (LAN or WAN) with a
(MS-DOS) ‘Command Prompt’ (or ‘Run’ from the Windows XP Start menu):
1.
Create a text file with the following ASCII three characters: ~WC
2.
Save the file as: TEST.ZPL (an arbitrary file name and extension name).
3.
Read the IP address off the printer’s Configuration Status Label’s Network Status printout.
On a system that is connected to the same LAN or WAN as the printer, type the following
in the Web browser window’s address bar and enter:
fpt (IP address)
(for IP address 123.45.67.01 it would be: ftp 123.45.67.01)
4.
Type the word ‘put’ followed by the file name and enter. For this ‘test print’ file, it would
be: put TEST.ZPL
The printer should print a new Print Configuration Status label.
