Configuration of Wireless Securities

Important • A wireless option board must be installed on your printer before you can

configure the printer to communicate using a wireless radio card. See Hardware—Wireless

Print Servers on page 15 to determine if your printer has a wireless board. See Firmware— Wireless on page 18 for the required firmware version.

You may configure your printer for wireless operati on in the following ways:

Through the Network Setup Wizard. The Network Setup Wizard is part of the ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise utility. The Network Setup Wizard writes a scrip t for you. On the last screen of the wizard, you may choose to send the script directl y to your printer, or yo u may choo se to save the script to a file. The saved 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.

Note • To configure wired and wireless print servers on t he same print er, run the prog ram

once for each print server, creating a script for the wired print server and another for the wireless print server.

The ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise utility resides on the User CD for your printer an d is available through http://www.zebra.com/software. ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise version 1.2.5 or later is required to configure the printer correctly for use.

Through ZPL script that you write. 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 Programming Guide for ZPL, ZBI, Set-Get-Do, Mirror, and WML for more information. A copy of the manual is available at http://www.zebra.com/manuals or on the User CD that came with your printer.

Through Set/Get/Do (SGD) commands. 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).

Note • With printers running APL-I, APL-D, or EPL firmware, the only way to configure

wireless settings is through SGD commands.

View Wireless Status through the Control Panel

After the wireless print server is configured, you may view the wireless status on the printer’s control panel in many cases.

• Printers with an LCD display text or symbols (see LCD Link Status and Wireless Signal

Indicators (Other Printers)).

• The HC100 printer does not have an LCD, so the wireless status is indicated by the control panel lights (see HC100 Wireless Status Indicator Lights on page 43).

• The ZT210, ZT220, ZT230 printers also use control panel lights to indicate the wireless status (see Network Status Indicator Lights on page 44).

Note • Refer to the User Guide for your printer for specific instructions on how to use the

control panel.

Determining the Active Print Server

asterisk indicating

active print server

Most printers can have wired and wireless print servers installed at the same time. However, only one of the installed print servers can be active at any given time.

Viewing IP Addresses and the Active Print Server

The wired and wireless print servers have different IP addresses. The printer’s control panel displays the IP address of the active print server (see V iew Wireless Status through the Control

Panel on page 41). You can view the printer’s web pages and send label formats to the printer

through the active print server’s IP address. The network configuration label (Figure 8) displays the IP addresses of all installed print

server devices and indicates the active print server with an asterisk (circled in Figure 8). To print a network configuration label for wired print servers, see Printing a Network

Configuration Label on page 36 or for wireless print servers, see Configuration of Wireless Securities on page 40.

• ZT610, ZT620

Then…

Only one print server (wired or wireless) can be installed at a time. Thus, the print server installed is the primary print server.

You may select which installed device is the primary net work device. The printer will try to use the primary network device as the active print server before trying the other installed options.

These printers and print engines use X60.16.x or later firmware. The default for the printer is to skip

the check for a wired print server during boot-up. This makes the wireless print server the primary network device if a wireless pr int server is installed. To change this default and allo w the wired print server to be the primary network device when it is connected, use one of th e following methods to tell the printer to check for a wired print server at boot-up time:

• the WIRED PS CHECK parameter on the control panel

• the ^NB ZPL command

Table 10 identifies which device becomes the active print server

under various conditions. These printers support the simultaneous installation of an

internal, external, and a wireless print server. Even though all three print servers may be installed, only one is connected to the network and is the active print server.

Table 11 outlines priorities and identifies which device becomes

the active print server when multiple print servers are installed. You may select whether the wired or wireless print server will be

the primary connection by using one of the following methods:

• the PRIMARY NETWORK parameter on the control panel

• the ^NC ZPL command

Assigning an IP Address on any Print Server

Before you can begin working with a print server, you must get or assign an IP address for the print server device.

The four different ways to assign an IP address are:

•DHCP

• ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise

• Printer Control Panel/LCD

•Telnet

Important • For specific information on the default User ID and/or default password, see

Default User ID and Password on page 33.

With Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

If your network uses DHCP, your print server device is assigned a temporary IP address.

Note • Check with your Network Administrator to see whether your network uses DHCP.

Assigning an IP Address Without DHCP via ZebraNet Bridge

ZebraNet Bridge may be used to set the IP address. Refer to the ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise User Guide for more detailed information.

Assigning an IP address Without DHCP from the Control Panel

These steps can be used with all printers with a control panel.

To assign an IP address from the control panel (or LCD), complete these steps:

Important • A 10/100 Print Server must have firmware 1.xx.x and higher and your Zebra

printer must have firmware x.10 or higher with a control panel.

1. Turn on (I) the printer and wait until the control panel says PRINTER READY.

2. See Wired Network Parameters on the Printer Display on page 114 or Wireless Network

Parameters on the Printer Display on page 116 for specific print server menu options or

your printer’s user guide for specific instructions on the operation of your printer.

3. You may edit any of the following network settings in order to communicate with any

print server in your network environment.

Important • To change any of these settings, you need to enter the printer password. The

default password is

P1043301-006 10/12/17

1234.

Getting Started

Assigning an IP Address on any Print Server

• ip resolution (dynamic, permanent) The printer menu item IP RESOLUTION must be set to PERMANENT if attempting to assign the IP address from the contro l panel.

• 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

192.168.254.254

• ip protocol (gleaning only, RARP, BOOTP, DHCP, DHCP and BOOTP, all)

Assigning an IP Address Without DHCP via a Telnet Session

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 print server, must be on the same network segment.

Before you can Telnet to the print server and configure it, you must first assign the print server a temporary IP address.

Static Route

To use this method, complete these steps:

1. Turn on (I) the printer and wait for 2 minutes to allow for the device to complete the

self-test. During this time, the print server performs an address broadcast. If no address is assigned

to the unit (via DHCP or BootP), it uses a default address. The default address for print server is 192.168.254.254. Print the print server configuration label to confirm the address. For details, see Before You Begin on page 33.

2. You can use the route add command to place the default IP address into the

workstation's network routing table.

3. At the workstation/host command prompt (in Windows, at the DOS prompt), type:

route add **** "IP address of the workstation" 0

where **** is the IP address on any print server configuration label

Note • The zero (0) placed at the end of the “route add” command is optional on some

systems.

4. Telnet to the print server by typing:

"Telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" The password is 1234.

5. At this point, you can alter the settings as desired. When complete, do a reset and allow

the print server self-test to complete before proceeding with any communications activity.

10/12/17 P1043301-006

Getting Started

Assigning an IP Address on any Print Server

Gleaning

A method by which the print server uses the IP address of the first ping packet that is sent to its hardware address.

Note • Gleaning works only on local subnets at routers. It does not pass Address Resolution

Protocol (ARP) broadcasts.

To use this method, complete these steps:

1. Add an entry to the ARP table that assigns an IP address to an Ethernet (hardware)

address. The syntax for this command is:

arp -s <temporary ip address> <MAC Address>

Example • You would type: arp -s 10.3.50.59 00-07-4d-1D-B9-86

2. Power cycle the printer.

3. As the printer reboots, begin a continuous ping to the address assigned previously.

Note • Most UNIX systems use a continuous ping.

To use a continuous ping from a Windows host, you must issue the following command:

ping -t "ipaddress"

4. When the print server begins to respond, stop the ping activity.

In Windows,

5. Telnet to the print server and assign the appropri ate IP address, subnet mask, and gateway,

Ctrl + C halts the pinging.

if applicable.

6. Once this is complete, reset the print server.

For details on resetting the print server, see Reset on page 110.

Setting and Monitoring Alerts on Any Print Server

It is important to understand the relationship bet ween the print serv er and the printer when y ou are establishing alerts. Here are the relationship s you nee d to be aw are of:

• Non-ZebraLink-enabled printers — can only send alerts on a specific set of printer errors that are reported in the IEEE 1284 protocol.

• ZebraLink-enabled printers — ZebraLink allows for the printer to send alerts outside of the IEEE 1284 protocol.

Using ZebraNet Bridge

ZebraNet Bridge may be used to set and monitor alerts. Refer to the ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise User Guide for more detailed information.

ZebraLink Alerts

ZebraLink Alerts give you the ability to man age your Zebr a printers b y immediately notifying System Administrators of printer error or warning conditions, which red uces printer downtime and increases application efficiency.

Printing Queues

Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD)-Style Print Queue

BSD is a version of the UNIX OS that distributes software that includes TCP/IP.

Configuring the Print Queue

For remote BSD-style LPD printing, add the print serve r as a remo te printe r in the /etc/printcap database to each host printing to any print server. You can add prin tcap options as needed. If you are unfamiliar with these options, consult the printer documentation.

Important • You must be logged in as root.

The entry looks similar to this:

local_print_queue_name|[printer_model_and_manufacturer]:\ :lp=:mx#0:rm=printserver_name:\ :rp=remote_print_queue_name:\ :sd=path_to_spool_directory:lf=just log_file_name

local_print_queue_name — This defines the name of the printcap entry. It is used by

the LPR/LPD utilities to specify which printcap entry is being refe re nced. Additio nal printca p entries can be added as needed for different queue types. Each entry must have a unique local_print_queue_name and a different spool directory to work properly. When you are ready to print, use the local_print_queue_name that matches the data type of the file to be printed.

printserver_name — This is the name (alias) of the print server. This must be the same name as entered in the /etc/ hosts file or your NIS or DNS system. An IP address may also be used here.

remote_print_queue_name — This entry determines the port where the print job will be printed and optionally specifies ASCII prin ting that must end for LF1.

path_to_spool_directory — This is the path to a directory where the print jobs will be spooled for this queue. You must create a unique spool directory for each printcap entry.

log_file_name — This is the path to a file where error information from the LPD will be logged.

Example • Your printcap entries might look similar to this:

Ascii_files|form.feed.Queue_on_Port_1:\ :lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUELF1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/myqueuelf1:\

:lf=/usr/spool/myqueuelf1/queue.log

Important • Each printcap entry must have a different spool directory to work p roperly.

System V Queue Installation

Configuring Operating System V Queue for Printing

This section describes the configuration of the printing system on the UNIX operat ing system. For clarity and brevity, the following specific names are used to represent general devi ces or concepts.

lj4 — The local queue name on the UNIX system to which you want print server print jobs directed.

ZEBRAPRINTER — The host name or IP address of the remote system that is the print server device. For example, to Telnet to any print server and invoke the print server configuration utility, you would enter:

Telnet ZEBRAPRINTER

A host name is not required for the print server — the IP address can be used. yourqueuename — This is the name of the queue, which must end with LF1.

Printing Queues

System V Queue Installation

Prerequisites

Before you proceed, the following prerequisites must be met:

• The name ZEBRAPRINTER and the IP address assigned to the print server are in the /etc/hosts file on the UNIX system.

• The LPD must be running on the UNIX system.

UNIX Configuration

To configure the UNIX machine so users can spool print jobs to the PCL print queue on the print server named ZEBRAPRINTER, complete these steps:

1. Log in to the UNIX machine as root.

2. Type:

lpsystem -t bsd ZEBRAPRINTER

3. Type:

lpadmin -p lj4 -s ZEBRAPRINTER!yourqueuename - I any

4. Type:

accept lj4

5. Type:

enable lj4

6. Try printing by typing the command:

lp -d lj4 [filename]

10/12/17 P1043301-006

Using Printing Protocols

IPP

To set up your 10/100 Print Server to support IPP, complete these steps:

Important • You must have IPP support on your system.

Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an application-level protocol used for distributed printing over the Internet. Using IPP from any standard IPP client, you can transfer jo bs to a printer that is connected to either a 10/100 Print Server.

Important • IPP support is not available on all 10/100 Print Server printers. To be certain

that you are running the latest version of firmware, visit http://www.zebra.com.

1. Open a browser.

2. Enter the 10/100 Print Server IPP UR L as follows:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:631/ipp/port1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = the IP address of the 10/100 print server device :631 = a fixed value /ipp = a fixed string designating IPP /port1 = a fixed value

Example • Your address might look like this:

http:198.60.248.120:631/ipp/port1

P1043301-006 10/12/17

FTP

Using Printing Protocols

Embedded within the print server is an FTP server application that processes file transfers from a host computer to the printer.

If the printer is on a network, label formats can be generated and data can be transferred without setting up a print queue.

To send information to the printer, perform these steps:

1. Open a command prompt and type:

ftp <IP of PS>

Example • If the IP address of your print server device is 12.3.4.123, you would

type:

ftp 12.3.4.123

This opens a session with the FTP server.

FTP

2. Type your user name and press Enter.

Note • By default, there is no user name.

3. Type:

put < filename>

where filename is the location and filename of your ZPL script This transfers the file to the printer, and the printer generates a label.

4. To terminate the FTP session, type:

quit
