Setting Up a Zebra Printer with IL Print

Before you begin, please ensure you have followed the steps to plugin and install the Zebra drivers on your computer.  Follow the instructions here to add a printer on Mac.

 

To get started, select your name in the upper right corner and choose Settings.

 

Click Printing from the left menu.

 

Click the Set Up Your Printer button.

 

Once selected, you will see the option to use the Standard print method (to print using your web browser) or to use IL Print.  Click Try IL Print.

 

You will be directed to download IL Print so that it can be installed on your computer.  Click Download IL Print to proceed. 

 

The IL Print application will automatically begin to download, which you will typically see in the lower-left corner of your browser.  

 

If you do not have downloaded files set to open automatically once complete, you can click on the arrow next to the file in your browser and select Open to launch the installation wizard.

 

Note: If the download does not appear in your browser bar, navigate to Finder>Downloads and double click IL Print 1.0.pkg to open it.

 

Follow the prompts in the installation wizard to install IL Print. 

 

In the case that you do not have an updated version of Java installed, the installation will prompt you to install the Java software. This is required to continue with the installation. 

 

Once you have received the Successful Install message, the IL Print application should be open and running on your computer.

 

To make sure, check that the IL Print icon is visible in your dock with a dot under it, which indicates that the app is active and running.  (Your dock will either be located across the bottom or along one side of your screen.)

 

Now that IL Print is running, it's time to navigate back to Stratify to click Next to continue the setup.

 

It will automatically detect that you have a Zebra driver and ask if you are setting up a Zebra printer.  Click Yes.

 

Click Install Zebra Printer.

 

Once the configuration file downloads, click the .pkg file to install it.  Complete the installation until you receive the Success screen.

 

When the program installs, a Zebra Printer Configuration will pop up.  Click Add a Zebra Printer. 

 

Select your printer from the Local Printers and click Continue.

 

When you are asked Which Language Will Your Zebra Support, choose if your printer is ZPL, EPL, or EZPL.

If you're not sure, choose I'm Not Sure to be taken to a page that will match your Zebra model to the correct language.

Once you make your selection, click Configure Printer.

 

You should receive a Configuration Successful screen.  Click Complete Configuration.

 

Navigate back to Stratify in order to select Next to select your printer model, label size, and orientation if applicable to the label type.
