Serial Port and Windows® operating systems

The Windows operating system default settings for the serial port communication closely match the printer’s defaults settings with one exception; the data Flow Control settings. The Windows default data Flow Control setting is NONE. The G-Series printer requires data Flow Control set to Hardware.

Note • The G-Series™ printer does not support Windows® Serial Port Plug and Play (PnP) device detection at this time.

Ethernet

This printer option has a variety of methods and utilities to assist with printer connection to a network (WAN or LAN) and to configure Wired and Wireless (WiFi) printers. The Zebra Setup Utility configuration wizards support creating a connection to the printer on a shared network with Windows based systems by using the printer’s IP address. The printer includes internal Web pages to provide easy access to printer and network configuration. The web pages are accessible via the printers IP address using any web browser. The free version of ZebraNet™ Bridge software allows you to centrally deploy, manage, and monitor your Zebra® printers with automatic Zebra® printer discovery up to 3 printers from a single PC screen anywhere on your global network. ZebraNet™ Bridge Enterprise is available for purchase to manage larger numbers of Zebra® printers.
