Zebra printer issues

If you cannot print or have difficulty getting your label in the correct format when using a Zebra printer, try the steps outlined below.

Set label format

If you have a Zebra printer, you must set your labels to print in the ZPL format. You can do this when creating a label from any order. Once you have set it, it should retain your settings for other labels. This setting can also be altered here.

  1. In Dashboard, click Orders.
  2. Click the order for which you need to create the label.
  3. Click Create label.
  4. In the upper right-hand corner, click the Label format dropdown and select ZPL.
  5. Try to print your label again. If it still doesn't work, you can try the next suggestion.
Download current drivers

Make sure you have the most current driver for the model of Zebra printer that you are using. Find your printer on the Zebra printer support website to download and install your driver. Typically, you can double-click the downloaded driver to install it. The driver should convert the ZPL file into a printable label.

Select the correct printer

Make sure you select the correct printer from your system dialogue window that pops up when you attempt to print the label.

When you click to print your label, if your label printer is configured properly, you should be able to select it from the system dialogue window that pops up when printing.
