Connecting the Printer
The printer must establish communications with a host ter-
minal which sends the data to be printed. Communications
occur in four basic ways:
• Via a cable using the USB 2.0 protocol. Windows drivers
are available through Zebra Designer Driver. Zebra Setup
Utilities can be used to configure the printer settings us-
ing a USB cable.
• By means of a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) using
an optional radio per 802.11n specifications.
• By means of a Bluetooth short range radio link.
• WinMobile
®
, Blackberry
®
, and Android
®
devices use
standard Bluetooth
®
protocol.
• iMZ Series printers are compatible with iOS devic-
es, therefore printing via Bluetooth to an Apple
®
device is
possible.
Cable Communication
Caution • The printer should be turned o before connecting or
disconnecting the communications cable.
The small connector on the USB cable plugs into the printer.
The connectors are keyed to assure correct alignment; do not
try to force the cable if it does not plug in. The other end of
the cable must be plugged into the host terminal as shown in
Figure 11, or the USB port on a computer as shown in Figure
12. The iMZ series utilizes the USB Open HCI interface driver
allowing it to communicate with Windows
®
based devices.
