Zebra MtP400 Operator's Manual - Host Interface Set Up

Getting Started 

Host Interface Set Up 

Prior to using your printer with a computer application, check the interface settings to be sure they match those 

required by your host system. 

Each printer is equipped with a Serial RS-232C interface which is selected by default.  Additionally, the printer 

may also be equipped with either an IrDA interface, Bluetooth interface, or Wi-Fi interface.  The model 

description on the serial number label will indicate if one of the optional interfaces is installed.  The factory 

defaults for the basic settings for each interface are listed below.
