Overview

The PrintServer II (PSII) is an optional factory- or field-installed interface device that supports network connection of the Zebra printer. interface that supports both the configuration of print server settings and the generation of unsolicited printer status messages to email-equipped devices.

ZebraLink-enabled printers offer an additional set of web pages that allow the user to set printer specific settings, as well as configure additional unsolicited alerts to be sent via email or SNMP.

If your printer also has ZebraNet Utilities, you have even more functionality. For details, see

ZebraNet Utilities on page 15.

Important • You can download the most recent version of ZebraNet Utilities from our Web

site: www.zebra.com

above-mentioned features (WebView and Alert).

NOTE •

PSII can be either field- or factory-installed for

additional features. For details, see Installatio n Types

ZebraNet with

Utilities is a suite of software programs that work

PSII and enhance the features of ZebraLink resident

within ZPL-based printers. The features include:

• ZebraNet Alert lets you configure multiple event alerts p er

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

• ZebraNet Connect IP lets you, with Windows, enable

simple printer selection of an IP addressable printer.

• ZebraNet V iew allows you to locate printers automa tically.

ZebraNet V iew searches on parameters such as IP address, subnet, printer model, printer status, and many other userdefined characteristics. It also offers powerful device management capabilities.

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

popular ZebraNet View. It gives you Zeb raNet View capabilities in a non-Windows environment.

A red status indicator blinks during the Powe r On Self Test (POST) and changes to green when the initialization is finished.

The

Test button is a small hole on the PSII device. To press it, you need to insert

something small into the hole, like a paperclip.

6. Press the Test button located on the bottom of the PSII. This prints out a PSII

configuration label.

Important • Label length, DPI and your firmware version:

• For all printers, the minimum label length is 4 in. (10.16 cm).

• For printers with firmware version 7.01 and higher, regardless of the dpi, a

2-inch (5 cm) label prints

• For printers with firmware version 7 and lower, see the table that follows.

This table shows you how to determine the minimum label width needed to print a configuration label for printers with firmware version 7 or lower:
