Connect the printer to your router and load paper

1. Using the power cord that came with your printer, plug the printer into a power outlet, but don't turn it on yet.
2. Load labels face-up (ZD410 shown):
   
3. Connect an Ethernet cable to the port on the back of your printer.
   
4. Connect the other end of the cable to an available port on the TrendNet network switch included with your Greenbits hardware kit, or connect directly to your router.
5. Turn on the printer.
   • ZD410 - Press and hold the power button on the top.
   • GX420d - Flip the switch on the back.
6. Calibrate the printer.

Test the printer connection

1. Wait for the network indicator light to turn green.
2. Print a Network Configuration label.
   • ZD410: Press and hold the feed andcancel buttons for 2 seconds.
     
   • GX420d: Press and hold the feed button until the green light flashes once, then release.
3. On the Network Configuration label, note the IP ADDRESS. This should be a series of numbers beginning with 010 or 192.
   

• If the IP address is all zeros, troubleshoot the physical connections.
• If the IP address starts with any other numbers, reset the printer.

Assign a static IP address

Greenbits recommends assigning a static IP address for all label printers. This helps maintain a strong, stable connection, especially if your router reboots after losing power. Learn how.
