Browser Requirements
The print server is an optional factory- or field-installed device that connects the network and
your ZebraLink-enabled printer. The print server provides you with a web browser as a user
interface for printer and print server settings. If you use ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise, you can
easily access the specialized features of a ZebraLink-ena bl ed prin ter. For details, see the
ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise User Guide.
Note • You can download the most recent version of ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise from
www.zebra.com/utilities.

Supported Wireless Radio Cards
Note • This section applies only to the Wireless Print Server and the Wireless Plu s Print
Server. All other wireless print servers supported by this manual have a built-in radio.
A supported third-party PCMCIA, Compact Flash™, or CardBus wireless radio card is
required for the printer to connect to the WLAN. After the wireless option board is installed in
the printer, the wireless radio card inserts into a slot on this board. A wireless radio card is
NOT provided with the Wireless Print Server or the Wireless Plus Print Server.
Note •
• Some wireless radio cards listed here may not support all wireless print server features.
• See Table 1 on page 11 or check with the card manufacturer to ensure that the card that
you wish to use supports the wireless security type used on your WLAN.
• Some wireless radio cards may require specific firmware versions to support certain
features. You may be able to download new firmware to your wireless radio card. Check
with the card manufacturer for more information.
• Check the operating conditions (such as temperature and humidity) for th e w irel ess rad io
card that you choose. If the card has more restrictions than the printer, this may limit the
conditions under which you can operate the printer with a wireless connection.

Memory Requirements
PCMCIA and Compact Flash Memory Cards PCMCIA memory or Compact Flash
memory cards will not work and are not supported on the Wireless Plus Print Server. The
Internal Wireless Plus Print Server and the a/b/g/n/ac Print Servers do not include a slot for
these card types.
Wireless Card Socket Option The wireless print server options replace the Wireless Card
Socket Option (WCSO) in 105SL printers with a serial number of 6400357 or greater. Do not
install a wireless option board on a 105SL printer with a serial number that is less than
6400357.
Wireless Option Board A special wireless option board must be installed in your
printer/print engine. To determine if you have a wireless option board installed, use a printer
configuration label (refer to the printing instructions in your printer User Guide). To purchase
a wireless option, contact your authorized Zebra reseller for more information.
The wireless option boards are identified by the HARDWARE ID line on the printer
configuration label.
The part numbers shown on the HARDWARE ID line indicate the wireless print se rvers as
shown in Table 6.

External 10/100 Print Server
This section provides you with an illustration of the externa l 10/100 Print Server and t he step s
required for its installation. For a list of compatible printers, see Hardware—Wired Print
Servers on page 14.
Before You Begin
Important • In order to take advantage of all features described in this manual, you must
download firmware X.14 or later.
Note • Not all printers support firmware X.14 or later. On those printers, the features
for this print server will be limited.
To upgrade you printer firmware, complete these steps:
1. If your printer has firmware x.12 firmware, you must upgrade your printer firmware to
version x.14.x or higher.
2. To upgrade your firmware, visit the Zebra Web site, and down load th e lat est firmw are fo r
your printer:
www.zebra.com/firmware
3. Confirm that the upgrade was successful:
If... Then...
Your printer has an LCD Look at the lower right-hand corner and confirm the
version of firmware that is on your printer.
Your printer does not have
an LCD
Print out a configuration label to see the version of
firmware that is on your printer.

Installation Instructions
To install an external 10/100 Print Server, complete these steps:
1. Turn off (O) the printer.
2. On the back of the printer, connect the external 10/100 Print Server device to the parallel
port.
3. Secure the wire locks.
4. On the back of the external 10/100 Print Server, connect an active Ethernet cable to the
RJ-45 connector Ethernet conne ctor.
5. Turn on (I) the printer.
The external 10/100 Print Server performs a Power On Self-Test (POST). This takes about
45 seconds. During the POST, the external 10/100 Print Server Status LED (just below the
TEST button) turns red and flashes on and off. Once the POST is successfully completed
and the external 10/100 Print Server is fully initialized, the Status LED tu rns green.
For more details on status indicators, see External 10/100 Print Server Network Status and
Status Indicators on page 120.
Note • If there is not an active Ethernet cable attached to the external 10/100 Print Server,
the Status LED turns red and slowly flashes on and off.
6. To check the status of the external 10/100 Print Server, press the Test button located on the
back of the external 10/100 Print Server.
This prints out a configuration label of the external 10/100 Print Server. To see a sample
label, see Figure 4 on page 35.

Install a Radio Card in a Wireless Print Server
Note • This section applies only to the Wireless Print Server and the Wireless Plu s Print
Server. All other wireless print servers covered by this manual have a built-in radio.
Printers that have the wireless option board installed can use any of th e wireless rad io cards or
Compact Flash wireless radio cards listed in Supported Wireless Radio Cards on page 9. This
section provides instructions for installing either type of card. Most printers use a clear plastic
RF cover over the wireless radio card or compact Flash wireless radio card.

Note • Z4Mplus, R4Mplus, and Z6Mplus printers do not support CardBus wireless radio
cards.
To install a wireless radio card, complete these steps:
1. Turn off (O) the printer.
2. Remove and discard the metal cover that was shipped in place over the wireless option
card slot on the back of the printer.
