Instal | Xprinter Xp-d4601b Extra Quality

Here’s a review-style breakdown of installing and setting up the XPrinter XP-D4601B (a popular thermal label printer for shipping, barcodes, and retail).

A. Hardware setup

  • Connect power and USB to your computer (Windows/Mac/Linux/ChromeOS).
  • Open the lid, insert label roll (print side up), adjust guides, close lid.
  • Hold the feed button for a few seconds → printer self-tests and prints status.

Installing the Driver Software

  1. Download the driver software: Visit the Xprinter website and download the XP-D4601B driver software for your operating system.
  2. Run the installation program: Run the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver software.
  3. Select the printer model: When prompted, select the Xprinter XP-D4601B as your printer model.
  4. Choose the installation location: Choose the location where you want to install the printer driver and click "Install" to begin the installation process.

Method A: Automatic Installation (Recommended for beginners)

  1. Extract the ZIP file you downloaded.
  2. Run the Setup.exe file as Administrator (right-click > Run as administrator).
  3. Accept the license agreement.
  4. Select “Install Printer Driver”.
  5. Choose connection type:
    • USB – Select this if using a direct cable.
    • Ethernet – Select this for network printing.
    • Bluetooth – If your model supports it.
  6. Wait for the progress bar to complete.
  7. Connect the printer to your PC via USB and turn it on. Windows will finalize the installation.
  8. Click Finish.

B. Driver & software

  • Windows: XPrinter provides a standard .exe driver (NT, or POS-80-series driver). Install, then set as default printer. Works with shipping platforms (ShipStation, Pirate Ship, eBay, etc.) via “local thermal printer” option.
  • Mac: Needs a generic thermal driver (e.g., Gutenprint or the vendor’s CUPS driver). Some users report plug-and-play with “ZPL” mode, but manual setup is often required.
  • Linux: Possible with brlaser or generic CUPS + raw queue, but requires command-line tweaking.
  • Mobile/ChromeOS: Limited – no official app; use via USB OTG or network sharing not recommended.
