Media Sizes
SEH IPv6 PS offers many features, but how you access and work with them is dependent on
your environment. Before you begin, you need to get information from the SEH IPv6 PS
configuration label.
Important • Make sure the printer is turned off (O).
In order to print the SEH IPv6 PS configuration label, the correct media size must be loaded in
the printer. Table 2 shows the minimum label widths and lengths needed to print an SEH
IPv6 PS configuration label with different DPI printheads.

Status Button
Reset the SEH IPv6 PS to Factory Defaults
You may reset all print server parameters to their default values (factory default settings).
Earlier settings will be deleted in this process. Installed certificates will not be deleted.
Important • Since the IP address of the print server will be reset as well, the Print Server
Home page cannot be started or displayed after the reset.
You must reset the parameters, for example, if you want to use the print server in another
network by changing the location of the printer. Before this change of location, you should
reset the parameters to the default settings to install the print server in another network.
Note • If a password has been set in the print server, the password has to be entered before
resetting the parameters. No password is necessary if you reset the print server using the
Status button on the print serv er.
To default the SEH IPv6 PS to factory settings using the Status button,
complete these steps:

LED’s
SEH IPv6 PS Status Indicator
The Status Indicator LED indicates the operational status of the SEH IPv6 PS.
During normal operation, the LED is solid green. This indicates all the hardware is functioning
properly and SEH IPv6 PS has detected the presence of the network. It does not mean the SEH
IPv6 PS has an IP address or is attached to a printer queue.
SEH IPv6 PS Network Activity Indicator
A Network Activity LED indicates a data packet has been received by the SEH IPv6 PS.
Operations

29
During normal operation, the LED is blinking yellow based on the rate at which it receives
packets. Network activity detected by this LED does not mean the activity is data for the print
server. The activity is any activity on the network seen by the SEH IPv6 PS.
SEH IPv6 PS Link Indicator
The Link Indicator LED indicates a physical connection to the network is available vi a the
SEH IPv6 PS.
During normal operation, the LED is solid green.

the active print server before trying the other installed options.
These printers and print engines use X60.16.x firmware. The
default for the printer is to skip
the check for a wired print server
during bootup. This makes the wireless print server the primary
network device. To change this default and allow the wired print
server to be the primary network device when it is connected, use
one of the following methods to tell the printer to check for a
wired print server at bootup time:

The Link LED Is Not Lit
If the LED is not lit, the SEH IPv6 PS has not detected the presence of a network cable. To
solve the problem:
1. Turn the printer off (O).
2. Remove the network cable from the SEH IPv6 PS.
3. Plug the network cable back in until you hear a click.
4. Check the other end of the cable in the same manner.
5. Turn the printer on (l). If the SEH IPv6 PS still does not detect a cable, continue.
Important • Cables with a rating hig he r th an CAT-6 have not been tested.
6. Verify that the network cable is appropriate for the network and has an RJ-45 connector.
7. Connect the SEH IPv6 PS to a network drop that is a known good network connection. If
the SEH IPv6 PS is still unable to detect the network cable, contact Technical Support for

ZebraNet View Utility Discovery or Configuration Problems
If you are having problems using the ZebraNet View utility to discover the unit, check the
following:
• Verify there is not a router between the workstation running ZebraNet View and the SEH
IPv6 PS. Because the SEH IPv6 PS does not have an IP address, TCP/IP communication
cannot be started across a router. Run ZebraNet View on the same subnet as the SEH
IPv6 PS.
• Verify that the Status LED is solid green, the Link LED is solid green and the Activity
LED is blinking yellow.
Unable to Print

FAQs
Can the internal SEH IPv6 PS option work on a computer network that is
running both TCP/IP and IPX protocols simultaneously? Yes. The SEH IPv6 PS
runs all of its available protocols simultaneo usly. This means that the SEH IPv6 PS can run on
mixed networks such as a network using Microsoft, and UNIX.
Will the SEH IPv6 PS allow connectivity to anything other than a PC network?
Yes. The SEH IPv6 PS allows connectivity to systems such as Novell, Linux, UNIX, Apple,
IBM’s AS400, and BS2000 networks provided that it is configured using TCP/IP.
What if a print job makes it to the queue, but never leaves the queue? The label
does not print. These are the things to check:
• Confirm that the printer is turned on and receiving power.
• Confirm that the network cable is plugged in and that you can ping the printer.
• If the above bullets do not change the outcome, it is likely that there was a
misconfiguration while creating the queue. The queue must be recreated verifying the
following:
•Confirm that you use the print server’s valid IP address.
•If you are using a UNIX or AS/400 host, there is an option for the remote queue name.
There is only one valid response to use: LP1.
•If Windows does not have LPR installed, the above required option should be left
blank.
•See the documentation for other operating system specific queue creation.
What are the minimum requirements to network a printer?
• Cat-5 network cable with 10BaseT connectors
•SEH IPv6 PS
•Hub or Switch
• If a hub or switch is NOT used, you need a cross-over cable.
• Workstation running a TCP stack with print services installed.

It depends on your environment, but the print se rv er acc ept s pr in t jo bs in any of the fo llowing
ways:
57
• FTP — ZPL files can be sent to the printer via an FTP client as standard ASCII files.
• HTTP — Using the file printing page, you can send files to the printer to be printed.
• IPP — Using third-party IPP clients, print jobs can be sent via the Internet.
• LPR/LPD — Sometimes referred to as queue-based printing. LPR/LPD is the standard in
network printing. Most TCP/IP operating systems are compatible with this option.
• Raw socket connection — You can connect to the printer directly via the network,
bypassing everything in-between. This option is commonly used to integrate ZPL into
existing programs, such as VB scripts.
• POP3 — With proper configuration, you can place ZPL files into the body of an email,
and it will print. The print server periodically checks this email box at the specified
intervals and prints the body of the message.
