Set up Zebra printer label settings

Hexnode’s Label Settings Policy for Zebra printers allows administrators to centrally configure and enforce printer parameters that directly control how labels are generated and printed across managed devices. This includes defining label dimensions like width, height, margins to ensure consistent output quality.

By deploying these configurations remotely, IT teams eliminate the need for manual setup on each printer, reduce misprints caused by inconsistent settings, and maintain compliance with enterprise labelling requirements. In short, the Label Settings Policy standardizes Zebra printer behaviour, optimizes print performance, and ensures uniformity across all managed endpoints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What happens when configure label length in Hexnode’s Label Settings Policy?

   Label length defines the vertical size of the label in dots. The maximum allowable length depends on the printer’s installed memory. Setting this ensures labels print correctly without truncation or overflow.

2. Why is label width important in Zebra printer configuration?

   Label width specifies the maximum printable width in dots (pixels). Correct width settings prevent misaligned or cut‑off prints and ensure the printer uses the full printable area of the label.
