Zebra Printer Preferences Not Saving
Problem:
When printing to a Zebra Printer and labels in Ceres, print settings are not saved between print runs. The user needs to change page size, margins and any other options each time a new label is printed. Typically labels from a Zebra printer are used for Pallet tags if you have barcodes on your Ceres pallet tags.
Versions affected: Ceres 4.x, Ceres 5.
Solution:
-
Close Ceres
-
Open printing preferences for the Zebra Printer Driver on each computer that will need to print labels.

-
Modify the printing preferences.
-
Click the Apply button.
-
Click the OK button.

Re-open Ceres. The printer settings should now be saved as defaults.
