Zebra Printer Setup Utility

About this app

With Zebra’s Printer Setup Utility, configuring your Print DNA printers to optimize performance is easy – no specialized knowledge required.


To use, tap the printer you wish to configure. Your printer and device will instantly begin communicating via Bluetooth. Then follow the simple setup wizards that walk you through how to set specific printing parameters – such as calibration, media type, ribbon, printer language and print quality – to optimize performance. If your Android device does not support Tap and Pair via NFC, the app can discover your printer via Bluetooth and network, or connect to it via USB.

With the Security Assessment Wizard feature, assess your Zebra printer security posture, compare your settings against security best practices and make changes based on your conditions to increase protection.

Bluetooth Printers are now manageable, even in the field!
Normally, Bluetooth printers are not easily managed – particularly when they are used in the field by a mobile workforce. Zebra’s Printer Setup Utility makes Bluetooth printers manageable via the Cloud by allowing the app to retrieve files from your Cloud storage provider and then transfer these files to the printers for configuration and printer OS updates. This simplifies the management of Bluetooth printers, dramatically improving both printer ROI and the productivity of a mobile workforce.

Help is just a tap away - use the "Zebra Assist" feature to send your printer's configuration directly to Zebra's support team.

Ratings and reviews

Why would they remove Bluetooth support? This was a huge necessity for my team to gather IP addresses when deploying as well as invert the orientation for printers not on the network. It was definitely a 5 star app before this update. Says only Bluetooth LE was removed, regardless however the Bluetooth no longer works for anyone on my team. Don't know why developers ever think it's a good idea to REMOVE features.

Since last version I´m unable to set media settings. It doesn´t show set length and width and can´t be set at all. There is still message "invalid Width" and "Invalid Length" even when I fill correct values and I can´t click on Next button, when I click on it then nothing happened. Please fix it! Connected printer Qln320.

Will not discover the label printer on Android. Finds it on IOS (but since they can't print PDF directly from iOS that's not useful). Phone can pair fine with the printer, but the app can't discover it at all. Printer was a total waste of money and this app is a waste of time. Zero stars if I could.
