ZebraNet®
Print Server Family

Zebra Everywhere and Anywhere

Need location–independent printing minus the hassle and cost of
recabling? Zebra offers the ZebraNet b/g Print Server and the ZebraNet
Wireless Plus, both with advanced authentication and encryption
protocols, so you can enjoy ultimate mobility with reliable network and
data security. For flexible connectivity options, get ZebraNet 10/100
Print Server for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and fast Ethernet 10/100 auto­switching networks.

Advanced Connectivity for Advanced Printers

Only Zebra print servers are designed and tested to work with Zebra®
printers. This means that you can deploy your printing solutions
seamlessly without having to worry about compatibility issues.

In addition, Zebra print servers enable you to see the print server
settings (like the IP address) on the printer’s front panel, making it
simpler to install printers into your environment.

Finally, most third-party print servers only allow for remote
management of the print server itself. With a Zebra print server, you
can remotely manage both the print server and the printer using any
of Zebra’s ZebraLink™ products, such as ZebraNet™ Bridge Enterprise
and mirroring. This is a great benefit for organizations whose printers
are deployed globally but are managed through a central IT group.

Zebra now offers you a choice in print server
products to make the world's best printers
even better:

• Flexible 10/100 Ethernet connectivity for
high-performance and industrial-strength
printers (internal and external options)

• Secure wireless network connectivity for
location-independent printer operations
anytime, anywhere

• Deported antenna available to ensure
ease of integration

• Effortless installation and centralized
connectivity and control via Zebra
advanced printer management

ZebraNet Print Server Family—Wireless

ZebraNet b/g Print Server and ZebraNet Wireless Plus Print Server

Wireless connectivity lets you reposition your Zebra
printers as needed without recabling. With Zebra’s
internal ZebraNet b/g Print Server, connect most Zebra
tabletop printers to 802.11b/g networks right out of the
box. The print server has an internal, theft-resistant radio
that doesn't require you to buy a separate card. Optional
tethered antenna with magnetic mount can optimize
reception by enabling the user to position the antenna in
a manner to improve signal quality.

ZebraNet Wireless Plus Print Server offers a high level
of wireless security for most Zebra tabletop printers
for flexible re-configuration of printers as business
needs require.
