These steps can be used with all printers. However, the liquid crystal display (LCD) instructions are for printers with an LCD.
To assign an IP address from the printer LCD, complete these steps:
Important • Your PSII must have firmware 6.3 and higher and your Zebra printer must have firmware x.10 or higher with an LCD.
1.Turn on the printer and allow 2 minutes for all systems to complete the self test. If you do not have a network cable in the port, the PSII prints the configuration label when it is ready.
2.On the printer front panel, press SETUP/EXIT.
3.On the printer front panel, press PREVIOUS twice until you reach the network settings menu item.
4.You can edit any of the following network settings in order to communicate with any PSII in your network environment.

•default gateway (default setting of 000.000.000.000)
•subnet mask (default setting 255.0.0.0)
•ip address (if initial default setting is 0.0.0.0, after 2 minutes this defaults to 198.102.102.254 or 192.168.254.254 — depends on firmware version)
•ip protocol (gleaning only, rarp bootp, dhcp, dhcp and bootp, all)
Assigning an IP Address via a Telnet Session
If your environment is not
The methods used for assigning an IP address with a Telnet session are Static Route and Gleaning.
Important • This applies to any TCP/IP capable workstation/ host networked with the Zebra printer. Both the workstation/host and the PSII must be on the same network segment.
Before you can Telnet to the PSII and configure it, you must first assign the PSII a temporary IP address.
