# coreSTORE - Labels: Inventory Setup printing labels in coreSTORE using Zebra printers

Price tags (what coreSTORE calls Labels) can be printed from coreSTORE for your inventory items and bound book items. Follow this article learn how to get started with printing labels.

We recommend using the "Direct Print" option inside of coreSTORE which is used for Zebra printers. The Zebra printers we recommend are Zebra ZD220 and Zebra ZD421.

1. First you need to install the driver for your Zebra printer. You can find drivers at the following link:
https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/drivers-operating-systems-firmware.html

2. Next, you'll want to make sure that you have QZ Tray installed. QZ Tray is a program that communicates between coreSTORE and your Zebra driver.
