ZEbra 105SL. How can I install it on a printer server? Which port should I use when asked for in "create new port" option using the add printer wizard?

There are several reasons why this could be happening. If the computer accessing the printer changed then I assume the new computer was recently set up with software to send print information to the printer. I would start with simple calibration and move from there. Zebra Technologies 105SL Printer Calibrating the Printer With Video

There are 3 different DPI Printheads for Zebra printers if you print a label set up for a 200 DPI Printhead on a printer with a 300 DPI Printhead installed it will be about 66% of the size.

I have this issue whenever I set my default printer to a label printer. Use the other printer as the default and set to the zebra only when you need it.

Install? Well that could mean a lot of different things. Just plug it up and run the ribbon and labels through their correct paths. I don't know anything about your network. (If you even need to set it up that way.) You can just connect it to the back of your PC. Follow this link. This will tell you all about the specifications of the 105SL. Not really your connections though....... http://www.intermeccorp.com/pdf/105SLusersguide.pdf

Caret file? Do you mean zpl, the actual label to be printed? If so you can access that from the web interface, just point your browser to the printers ip and follow the menu's. If it's not on a network you can use a command prompt the "type" the message to the com port. Just create a text file with the zpl and save it, then in a command prompt browse to the directory that contains the zpl and issue the command "type zpl.txt > com1" or whatever com it's on.

If you are refering to print speed, from the label format, press F5 to bring up the LABEL & SETUP PROPERTIES. Click on LABEL OPTIONS and print speed will be the first choice.

If you are refering to how fast data is sent to the printer, then that depends on the connection to the PC and whether you are using true-type fonts or not.

Hope that helps !

possible fonts issue. try to change the font from the text, check setings from the driver.
try to print from the driver (test print)
Try to print from Word (need to ajust the page) with diferents text fonts.


you can check the correct firmware ( be ware with the information about the serial number) ATENTION!!! wrong firmware can cause PRINTER DEAD!!!

Install lates firmware to the printer.

you need a null modem adapter hooked up as well.

If you have two printers 105se and the 105sl must install the two printers and select the correct model when you print your labels.
