Introduction

Overview

Printer with 10/100 Internal PS—10/100 Internal PS gives your printer these features:

• Print server and printer setup using a browser

• Remote monitoring and configuration capability of the

10/100 Internal PS using a browser

• Alerts

• The ability for you to send unsolicited printer status messages via

email-enabled devices

ZebraNet Utilities—ZebraNet Utilities is a suite of software programs that work with 10/100 Internal PS and enhance the features of ZebraLink resident within ZPL-based printers. The features include the following:

• ZebraNet View allows you to locate printers automatically.

ZebraNet View searches on parameters such as IP address, subnet, printer model, printer status, and many other user-defined characteristics. It also offers powerful device management capabilities.

• ZebraNet Alert lets you configure multiple event alerts per device

with different alerts directed to different people. You are notified of alerts from either visual or audio cues. You can also generate advanced alert reports.

• ZebraNet View Java Applet is a Java-based version of the popular

ZebraNet View. It gives you ZebraNet View capabilities in a non-Windows en viro nmen t.

• ZebraNet Connect IP allows you to discover a print server on a

network and define a port for printing.

Setting the Primary Network Print Server

The ZM400, ZM600, and Xi4 printers support the simultaneous installation of an internal wired, external wired, 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 4 outlines priorities and identifies which device becomes the active print server when multiple print servers are installed.
