Using Label Vista to Configure Your Wireless Printer

INTRODUCTION TO LABEL VISTA
Label Vista™ is a program that allows users with little or
no programming background to design labels which can be
printed on the full range of Zebra Technologies Corporation’s
mobile printers. It combines an intuitive graphically based user
environment along with powerful, but easily mastered, editing
tools.
In addition, Label Vista provides utilities making it easy to con-
figure your printer for a variety of purposes, including setting
them up for wireless communications either on a Local Area
Network (LAN) or using the international Bluetooth™ communi-
cations standard.
Label Vista utilizes a subset of Zebra’s Portable Printer Control
Language (CPCL). Label files created in Label Vista are fully
compatible with other labels created using the complete set of
CPCL commands.
System Requirements For Label Vista
1) An IBM-compatible PC with a CD-ROM drive and the minimum
configuration to run Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP will have
sufficient memory to run Label Vista. You will need a serial
(RS232-C) data port and approximately 10 MB of disk space
for the full Label Vista installation.
2) Serial communications cable (Zebra P/N BL11757-000) to
connect your Zebra Mobile Printer to the 9 pin serial port of
your PC.
You may need to supply adapter cables between the serial
communications cable and your computer if (1) your serial port
has 25 pins or (2) the connector gender of your computer does
not agree with the communications cable. Zebra’s standard
communication cable has a 9-pin female connector.
3) Label Vista™ Label Creation Utility Software, Revision 2.17 or
higher. Label Vista can be installed from the Accessories CD
which was packaged with your printer or can be downloaded
directly from Zebra’s Web site at: http://www.zebra.com

Office and Microsoft Outlook before proceeding.
