Connecting the Printer to the Host
9/24/2010 KR403 Hardware Integrator Guide P1016701-001 Rev. B
These operating systems automatically detect the printer when connected via the USB
interface. The operating system automatically starts a “Add new hardware’ wizard when
connecting the printer for the first time to the PC. Close the wizard. Install the printer
following the wizard. The latest driver is found at www.zebra.com
. Select the USB and
then media size (closest match). Click on the ‘Print test page’ button to verify a successful
installation.
The Windows operating system will detect and re-link a previously installed printer if it is
reconnected to the USB interface or power is turned on after the PC has finished its restart
of the operating system. Ignore the new device detected warnings and close the Task bar
prompts. Wait several seconds for the operating system to match the printer to the driver
software. The warnings will quit and the printer now should be ready to begin printing.
Serial Port and Windows
®
operating systems
The Windows operating system default settings for the serial port communication closely
match the printer’s defaults settings with two exceptions; the data Baud Rate and Flow
Control settings. The Windows default data Baud Rate (Bits per second) setting is 9600.
The KR403 printer requires data Baud Rate set to 115k. The Windows default data Flow
Control setting is NONE. The KR403 printer requires data Flow Control set to Software.
Note • The KR403 printer does not support Windows Serial Port Plug and Play (PnP)
device detection at this time.
Ethernet Port and Windows
®
operating systems
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server
2008 operating systems support the ethernet port communications with this printer when
