    Setting Up a Zebra Printer for both Jewelry and Other Labels

    by RetailEdge Moderator » Fri Aug 17, 2012 5:13 pm

    Once the printer is setup as for Jewelry labels or another label type, you simply have to add the other.

    1. Go to Start->Printers and Faxes (Windows XP) or Start->Devices and Printers (Windows 7).

    2. Right click on the driver you have setup for your Zebra.

    3. Choose Printer Properties and o to the Ports tab.

    4. Scroll down and see which box the checkmark is in. Take note of the letters and numbers right next to the checkbox and then Cancel out of the properties.

    5. Right click on the white background and choose 'Add a printer'.

    6. Choose 'Add a Local Printer'. Hit Next if needed.

    7. Choose 'Use an existing port'.

    8. Set the port to the value determined in Step 4.

    9. Choose ZDesigner from Manufacturer and the appropriate model from Printers.

    10. Select the (recommended) setting.

    11. Set the 'Printer name' to something that uniquely identifies it separately from the other one you set up.

    12. Uncheck 'Set as the default printer' and hit Finish.

    13. Now when you right click on the driver in 'Printers and Faxes' or 'Devices and Printers' it should have an arrow next to 'Printing Preferences' and 'Printer Properties'.

    14. This arrow is used to specify which printer you wish to modify (Jewelry or other).

    15. Now you must use the following link to setup the second copy of the printer to be opposite of the other one.

    16. Once this is done, simply choose between the printers to print to in Retail Edge for different label types.

    17. Remember that a Calibrate must be done from Printing Preferences->Advanced Setup on the target printer prior to switching each time.

    If you need information about how to setup the printer you should take a look at the following topics on how to setup a label printer:
