Label Printer and QZ Tray Setup 

Does OrderPort assist customers with their label printer? 

Yes. We don’t send them to UPS, FedEx, or Zebra to assist because this is something we can help solve. However, the setup does involve using UPS, FedEx, and the manufacturer's documentation. 


Label Printer Set-up 

First, you need to download the driver for your printer. 

LP2844 and ZP450 are compatible with OrderPort and you need to go to UPS or FedEx to find your drivers. For additional support on the drivers go to the Zebra Knowledge Base to find your printer. 

Next, Login to OrderPort Admin à Shipping à click your shipping carrier à change the printer format to ZPL or ZPII depending on your carrier. 

  • If you are shipping with Vinoshipper go to the Vinoshipper module à open the Shipper Label Format à ZPL. 


  • Restart your Computer after installing the drives to take full effect.

  • The official OrderPort suggestion is using the QZ Tray with the label printers. However, the GIF label format can be used to avoid the QZ Tray. It will use your computer's default printing software interface to do so. You still need the drivers installed. It may not fill the label out properly. You can mess with the interface merges, paper size, and scale.
