Connecting your Zebra ZD410 printer
  • Plug in your Zebra ZD410 printer to a power outlet.
    The light on the power cycle rectangle turns green once power is connected.

  • Connect your USB cable from your printer to your computer's USB port.
    NOTE: It's best to use direct connections instead of USB hubs and power cords.

Insert your Zebra ZD410 label roll

  1. To open the printer's lid, pull the yellow latches towards you and lift the lid upwards.
  2. Pull the yellow roll guides apart and insert the roll with the labels face up.
  3. Release the roll guides and push them together to make sure the roll is secure and turning freely.
  4. Pull the labels out past the cutter at the front of the printer.
  5. Push the labels under the roll guides.
  6. Flip the labels up and align the media sensor to the center position.
  7. Push the lid down to snap both yellow latches shut.
Calibrate your Zebra ZD410 printer
  1. For the printer to recognize the size of your labels, perform an initial calibration:
  2. Follow the steps in sections 1 to 2 above.
  3. Press the power button and wait for the solid green status indicator light.
  4. Hold the pause and cancel buttons down for 2 seconds and let go. The printer will measure and feed a few blank labels.
  5. Once the printer stops and the status indicator light is solid green, the calibration is complete.

    NOTE: An initial calibration is necessary when the new roll is a different label size.
    You do not need to calibrate after inserting a new roll of the same label size. The printer will automatically adjust or you can press the feed button twice before printing.
    If you are using the discontinued Zebra LP2824 Plus, hold down the green feed button and release after the status light ring flashes once and then twice.
