ZebraNet® Internal Wireless Print Server Option
This section covers basic configuration of your ZebraNet Internal Wireless Print Server option
for operation. For more detailed information, refer to the ZebraNet Wired and Wireless Print
Servers User Guide.
You may configure your printer for wireless operation in the following ways. This basic guide
covers only the first option, the Connectivity Wizard.
•Through the Connectivity Wizard, which writes a ZPL script for you. On the last screen
of the utility, you may choose to send the command directly to your printer, or you may
choose to save the ZPL script to a file. The saved ZPL file has several purposes:
• The file can be sent to the printer through any available connection (serial, parallel,
USB, or wired print server).
• The file can be resent to the printer after the network settings have been restored to
factory defaults.
• The file can be sent to multiple printers that will use the same network settings.
•Through ZPL script that you write yourself. Use the ^WX command to set the basic
parameters for security type. You can send the command through any available connection
(serial, parallel, USB, or wired print server). Refer to the ZPL Programming Guide for
more information on this option.
•Through Set/Get/Do (SGD) commands that you send to the printer. Begin with
wlan.security to set the wireless security type. Depending on which security type
that you select, other SGD commands will be necessary to specify other parameters. You
can send the commands through any available connection (serial, parallel, USB, or wired
print server). Refer to the ZPL Programming Guide for more information on this option.
Important • A wireless option board must be installed on your printer before you can
configure the printer to communicate using the wireless radio option.
