How to Verify That QZ Tray Is Installed and Connected

Learn how to confirm that QZ Tray has been successfully installed and connected to AccelerList. This guide covers the common signs of a successful installation and what to check if your printer is not appearing in the application.

How to Verify That QZ Tray Is Installed and Connected

After installing QZ Tray, it's important to verify that it is running properly and connected to AccelerList. A successful connection allows AccelerList to communicate directly with your printer and send print jobs automatically.

Signs That QZ Tray Is Installed Successfully

1. QZ Tray Is Running on Your Computer

When QZ Tray is running, you should see the QZ Tray icon in your system tray:

Windows

  • Look for the QZ Tray icon near the clock in the bottom-right corner of your screen.

Mac

  • Look for the QZ Tray icon in the menu bar at the top of your screen.

If the icon is visible, QZ Tray is running.

2. AccelerList Shows a Connected Status

When you access a printing page in AccelerList, the QZ Tray status should indicate that it is connected.

If QZ Tray is not connected, you may see:

  • Connection warnings

  • Printer selection issues

  • Print buttons that do not respond

3. Your Printer Appears in AccelerList

Navigate to your printing settings and verify that your printer is listed.

Common printers include:

  • Dymo LabelWriter

  • Zebra printers

  • Rollo printers

  • Brother label printers

If your printer appears in the printer selection list, AccelerList is successfully communicating with QZ Tray.

4. You Can Print a Test Label

The easiest way to confirm everything is working is to print a test label.

If the label prints successfully:

  • QZ Tray is installed correctly

  • AccelerList is connected

  • Your printer is properly configured

Common Issues

QZ Tray Is Installed but Not Running

Open the QZ Tray application manually and keep it running while using AccelerList.

Printer Does Not Appear

Verify that:

  • The printer is installed on your computer.

  • The printer works outside of AccelerList.

  • QZ Tray is running.

Try:

  • Refreshing the page

  • Restarting QZ Tray

  • Restarting your browser

Final Thoughts

The best indication that QZ Tray is installed and connected correctly is that your printer appears in AccelerList and you can successfully print a test label. If either of these conditions is not met, verify that QZ Tray is running and that your printer is properly installed on your computer.
