Connecting the Printer to your Computer

The P330i Printer includes a standard USB interface.

As an option, the printer can be ordered with a 10/100base-T Ethernet Adapter (in addition to the USB interface). The Ethernet Adapter can also be ordered as an add-on option and installed in the field by a Zebra factory certified technician.

1.If using the USB interface, use the supplied USB cable to connect between the USB connector on the printer and a USB port on the computer, as shown below. (Note that the figure below shows the optional Ethernet Adapter directly above the USB Connector; this may not be present on your printer.)

2.If your printer includes the optional Ethernet Adapter as well as the standard USB connection, use either the supplied USB cable or a standard Ethernet cable to connect the printer to a corresponding port on the computer or network.

Important • Do not use both USB and Ethernet connections at the same time!

Important • Intermittent or unpredictable operation may occur from unsecured connectors. If damaged, the power cable must be replaced by an exact equivalent.
