The Zebra ZD410 label printer connects directly to your Mac computer with a USB cable and allows you to print labels for your items.

Setting up your Zebra ZD410 involves the following steps:

1. Connecting your printer
2. Inserting a label roll
3. Calibrating your printer
4. Installing Zebra Browser Print
5. Printing a label

What you'll need

To set up your label printer,  you need the following from your hardware shipment:

Zebra ZD410 label printer
Power cord and power supply
USB cable
Label roll (sold separately)

1. Connect your label printer

To connect your label printer, you need the power cable, the power adapter and the USB cable. 

1. Connect the power supply to the back of your label printer.

   

2. Connect the power cord to the power supply and an electrical outlet.

   

3. Connect one end of the USB cable to your label printer. 

   

4. Connect the other end of the USB cable to your computer.

   

5. Turn on your label printer.

   

2. Insert a label roll

Label rolls are purchased separately from your label printer. To insert a label roll:

1. Pull the yellow latches on both sides of the printer towards you and lift the printer's lid open.
2. Pull the yellow roll guides apart and insert the label roll with the labels facing upwards.
3. Release the roll guides and push them together. Make sure the label roll is secure and turning freely. 

   

4. Pull the labels out past the cutter at the front of the printer.
5. Push the labels under the roll guides.

   

6. Flip the labels up and align the movable sensor to the center position.

   

7. Push the lid closed until both yellow latches snap shut.

   

3. Calibrate your printer

For your label printer to recognize the size of your labels, you need to calibrate it. This will make sure that your labels will print correctly. To do so, hold down the pause and cancel buttons for two seconds and release. The printer will measure and feed a few blank labels.

4. Install Zebra Browser Print

5. Print labels

Now that you've connected your printer, calibrated it and installed Zebra Browser Print, print three labels to test if your printer is working as it should. We recommend printing three labels before printing a larger label queue to avoid wasting labels should they print misaligned.

To print labels:

1. From the main menu, click Inventory > Item Search.
2. Click an item you want to print labels for.
3. From the Details submenu, click Print Label.
4. From the print modal, select your printer.
   Note: Your printer's name is based on its serial number. If you don't know your printer's serial number, check the sticker underneath your printer.
5. Select the label size that matches your label roll. 

   

   Normal	Small	Alternative	Jewelry
   2.25 in x 1.25 in	1.25 in x 1.00 in	2.00 in x 1.00 in	2.20 in x 0.50 in

   Note: If you're not sure of the size of your label roll, you can also select a label size from the drop-down. The illustration in the modal will reflect the appearance of the label size you selected. This way, you can match your selection in the modal to your label roll.
6. Enter a quantity of 3.
7. Click Print.

Your label printer should print three perfectly aligned labels.
