Zebra Technologies, formerly known as Eltron, manufactures a range of printing solutions, including mobile, desktop, and industrial printers. These printers often require drivers and firmware updates to function correctly with various operating systems. A small, portable storage device containing these necessary files is sometimes referred to as an “Eltron USB drive.” This device typically contains software installers, configuration utilities, and documentation relevant to specific Zebra printer models.
