Zebra Printer Real Time Clock settings
Zebra Printer in industry
Zebra printers are widely used across industries for tasks such as labeling, tracking, and inventory management. In these environments, tasks often rely on accurate time-stamped data, making it essential for the devices to maintain a precise real-time clock (RTC).
Why set a real time clock?
A real-time clock ensures that every log entry and printed label contains a precise timestamp. This is crucial for diagnosing issues, analyzing operations, and meeting audit or compliance requirements. In many industrial environments, employees often have to set the date and time manually on each printer, which can lead to inconsistencies.
Using Hexnode to set the Real-Time Clock
With Hexnode’s Set Clock action, administrators can configure the Zebra printer’s real-time clock remotely. This eliminates the need for on-device adjustments and ensures that every printer in the device fleet remains synchronized with the correct date and time.
How to set clock for Zebra printers?
On the Hexnode UEM console,
- Navigate to Manage > Devices.
- Select the required Zebra Printer from the device list.
- Click on Actions > Edit > Set Clock.
- To set the time, enter the desired hours and minutes.
- To set the date, choose the required date from the selector.
- Click Done.
What happens on the device end?
Once the clock is set, any labels, receipts, or documents printed from the device will now display the updated date and time.
