This article is for anyone who needs to configure a Zebra ZD410 network print server.
Load tags into the tag printer.
Connect a network cable to the rear of the tag printer.
Connect the other end of the network cable to an available port on your network.
Plug the power adapter into the rear of the tag printer and then plug the power cable into an available AC outlet.
Power the tag printer on by pressing and holding the power button for about 5 seconds and then release the power button.
Once the tag printer has finished powering on, press and hold the Feed and Cancel buttons for two seconds and then release. This will print out a configuration page as shown below. Please note that by default, a new tag printer will obtain an IP address via DHCP.
