First Use - Testing the System
Lets review. We have:
• Setup the printer and configured it for your selected media.
• Performed a test print using the Windows printer driver.
• Set the printer’s serial port for ZKDU communication.
• Optionally created one or more print forms and downloaded them into the printer.
The ZKDU and printer are now ready to be joined to become a stand alone print system.
Use the following steps to complete the ZKDU print system’s setup and print a list of the
forms stored in the printer.
1. Turn the printer’s power off.
2. Disconnect any other printer communication cables from the printer (used to
configure printer and develope print forms).
3. Connect the ZKDU serial cable to the printer’s serial port and secure the cable with
the thumb screws. (Printer shown for reference only, you may have a different model).
4. Turn the printer power on.
