Setting Up Your Printer

RedBeam seamlessly connects with networked thermal barcode printers (such as Zebra ZD/ZT series) via standard web utilities.

Before labels can be printed from RedBeam, the printer must be connected to a network, and the IP address will need to be configured within RedBeam.

1. Load tags into printer.
2. Connect one end of a network cable to the rear of the printer and the other into an available network port.
3. Plug the power adapter into the rear of the tag printer and plug the power cable into an available AC outlet.
4. Power on the printer by pressing and holding the power button for about 5 seconds and then release the power button.
5. Press and hold the Feed and Cancel buttons for two seconds and then release to print a configuration page. By default, a new tag printer will obtain an IP address via DHCP.
