Also Applies to ZD420 and ZD421 printers Easy 10 minute(s) false en TB0452_ZD620_Zebra_Printer_Setup_0453_Zebra_ZD620_Printer_Setup-Image-001.jpg none One difference between the GX420d and the ZD620d is the lack of a dedicated power switch. The newer ZD620d opts for a power button that must be pressed in order to turn on the printer after power is supplied. As our machines are fully un-powered after a machine is closed down it causes the operator to intervene and manually turn on the printer after power up. Ideally the Zebra ZD620d has an '''Power Recovery Mode''' that acts as a permanent switch in case of power failure. We can use this on the machines to allow the printer to turn on upon power up. 1.      Disconnect from power. 2.      Remove module door and use Ethernet cable to remove (plug in and pull). 3.      Move the switch that is annotated AUTO to the ON position. 4.      Reinstall the module. 5.      Reconnect power, this should now turn on. Plug in power and Ethernet cable connected to network to the printer. As the printer boots up there will be a red light displayed on the front. After around 30 seconds this will turn green as the printer completes boot up. <div class="icon-instructions info-icon"> <div class="icon-instructions-icon"><i class="fa fa-info-circle"></i></div> <div class="icon-instructions-text">Also check the Network Light. If this is orange or red there is a connection issue between the printer and the network</div> </div><br/> Underneath the printer will be two screws that hold the front label dispenser in place. Undo these using the tool provided in the peel off module box. When these are undone, slide the dispenser downwards to release. When this is off, slide the peel off module onto the printer. Reattach the screws and tighten Using the latches on the sides, open the printer and place in a label reel as shown. Open the peel off module using the yellow latch on the front. Thread the labels through the module and tuck labels under latches by the wheel. Check labels are parallel to the printer, close and shut peel off module. Hold down the '''dispenser''' and '''cancel''' buttons (1 and 2) for two seconds. This will printout labels with various parameters on them, look for the label with '''IP Address''' as shown.<br/><div class="icon-instructions idea-icon"> <div class="icon-instructions-icon"><i class="fa fa-lightbulb-o"></i></div> <div class="icon-instructions-text">You can also use the advanced IP address scanner to do this! just be careful to access the correct printer if the customer has more than one.</div> </div><br/> Open the most available browser on the network and type the IP address gathered in the '''search bar'''.
