• Configuring the printer
• Testing the printer

Note: these instructions have been written for the Zebra Label Printer GK420d - some steps may vary slightly for your printer model.

Installing the printer

Before you connect the printer to your computer and turn it on, you need to install drivers for the printer.

Printer drivers can be downloaded from the support and downloads section of Zebra's website.

Configuring the printer

Once the printer drivers are installed, you should do a Standard Media Calibration - a two flash sequence.

1 - Have the printer powered on and the top covered

2 - Hold the Feed button

3 - Wait for the green status LED to flash twice, then let go of the Feed button

Testing the printer

Once the printer has been installed and configured, try printing a label to see if it prints successfully.

1 - In eCargo Premium, locate a job to do a test label print of.

2 - Right click on the job and select Print.

3 - In the Print box, select the label printer you have installed, and print a label.
