Zebra ZD410 settings

    • Plug in printer. Plug in USB cable. Turn on printer. Driver usually loads automatically, give it some time.
    • If it won't load, get driver. (Download driver) (Zebra support page).
  • Load Paper
    • Open printer with two yellow tabs
    • Roll yellow wheel in bottom of label compartment to set label width
    • Check sensor: move one notch to right ~1/8 inch so sensor lines up with through-hole

    • Close lid
  • Calibrate
    • With printer turned on, press both Pause and X until calibration starts (about 4 seconds). Let it finish.
    • Press 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 eVisitor is not set to a specific printer, it should automatically find the printer
    • Test by printing a label from eVisitor

  • Setting the Printer Properties will set the printer properly for other new windows users (other Windows logons)

 

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 eVisitorPass to print.

The printer manual is available here.
