Trying to connect a Zebra 6M Plus 200 dpi printer to a laptop. Data driver won't install. It asks me for the port, and then I get an error message "Environment is not valid." Zebra website says this is due to this driver not being compatible with 64-bit system and suggests downloading new universal driver software. I downloaded the new software, but I still can't install the printer. My computer can't find the driver software. Suggestions?

SOURCE: Print Width Issue

the issue you are having is DPI related, when data is sent to the printer and rendered it is dot for dot, so a Z4M 203dpi printer has about 800dots on the printhead where your printer has about 1200dots on the printhead. so when your software prints to dot800 thinking it is the edge of the label it is infact at 60%. there sould be an option in the software to configure around this. if not the is an option in the printer to convert DPI setting ie 150>300 or 100>200 and so on. but i don't thing you can make a 300dpi print as 203dpi


best of luck

I have seen that some label manufacturers have used inconsistent backing material on their label rolls. The opacity of the backing material was dramatically different in various sections of the roll. Because of this the label sensor cannot read the gap as well, and it spits out blank labels until it can detect the label gap again (or it issues the message "Paper out"...
