Assigning an IP Address

Before you can begin working with printer, you must get or assign an IP address for the printer device.

Important • Throughout the step sequence in this chapter, there are some features that

require the default User ID and/or default password. If you are prompted, th ese are the defaults:

• User ID: admin

• Password: 1234

With Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

If your network uses DHCP, your printer device is assigned a temporary IP address. This is important to know, because you have the option to make the temporary IP address the permanent IP address.

Note • Check with your Network Administrator to see whether your network uses DHCP.

Without DHCP

If your network does not use a dynamic IP addressing system (such as DHCP), you need to set a permanent IP address of the printer device.

ZebraNet View

ZebraNet View is the Windows-based print server management and configuration utility that came with your printer.

Important • The remaining secti ons are dependent on the successful installation of Ze braNet

Utilities, which you should have completed on page 31.

Assigning an IP Address

Important • To change any of these settings, yo u need to use the default password: 1234.

• ip resolution (dynamic, permanent) The printer menu item IP RESOLUTION must be set to PERMANENT if attempting to assign the IP address from the front panel.

• default gateway (default setting of 000.000.000.000)

• subnet mask (default setting 255.0.0.0)

• ip address (if initial default setting is 0.0.0.0, after 2 minutes this defaults to

198.102.102.254 or 192.168.254.254 — depends on firmware version)

• ip protocol (gleaning only, rarp bootp, dhcp, dhcp and bootp, all)

Assigning an IP Address via a Telnet Session

If your environment is not Windows-based, this section is for you. However, this method can be used in a Windows environment, too.

The methods used for assigning an IP address with a Telnet session are Static Route and Gleaning.

Important • This applies to any TCP/IP capable workstation/ host networked with the Zebra

printer. Both the workstation/host and the printer must be on the same network segment.

Before you can Telnet to the printer and configure it, you must first assign the printer a temporary IP address.

Assigning an IP Address

Static Route: To use this method, complete these steps:

1. Turn on the printer and wait for 2 minutes to allow for the device self test.

During this time, the printer performs an address broadcast. If no address is assigned to the unit (via DHCP or Bootp), it uses a default address. The default address used varies with the version of firmware the printer is using. Print the printer

configuration label to confirm

the address; for details see page 38.

2. You can use the route add command to place the default IP address into the

workstation's network routing table.

Example • In the next step, **** is the IP address on the printer configuration label.

3. At the workstation/host command prompt (in Windows, go the DOS prompt), type:

route add **** "IP address of the workstation" 0

Note • The zero (0) placed at the end of the "route add" command is optional on some

systems.

4. Telnet to the printer by typing:

"Telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" The password is 1234.

5. When finished, you can alter the appropriate settings. When complete, do a reset and

allow the printer self test to complete before proceeding with any communications activity.

Gleaning: To use this method, complete these steps:

Note • Gleaning works only on local subnets at routers. It does not pass Address Resolution

Protocol (ARP) broadcasts.

A method by which the printer uses the IP address of the first ping packet that is sent to its Hardware address.

1. Add an entry to the ARP table that assigns an IP address to an Ethernet (Hardware)

address. The syntax for this command is: arp -s "temporary ipaddress of print

server" "MAC Address (print server hardware address)" arp -s <temporary ip address> <MAC Address>

Example • You would type: arp -s 10.3.50.59 00-40-68-1D-B9-86

2. Power cycle the printer.

3. As the printer reboots, begin a continuous ping to the address assigned previously.

ZebraNet Connect IP allows you to send jobs to PrintServers that use Dynamic IP addresses (DHCP). It also notifies you of printer errors, such as paper out or head open. When print job s are printed through ZebraNet Connect IP, they are sent directly to printer and are not routed through a network server, resulting in a reduction of network traffic.

Note • The DHCP feature of ZebraNet Connect IP can rediscover a printer on the local

subnet, even when its IP address might be changing (e.g., when using DHCP for IP address resolution). The printer is relocated by its port name as configured through ZebraNet View (the default name is Serial Number-Port Number). This feature is enabled on the local subnet only. A non-local printer device is not rediscovered if the IP address changes.

If you have printing problems while using the ZebraNet Connect IP printing port, you may check the status of the port or change its settings through the printer Properties dialog.

• For Windows 95/98, select Port Settings under the Details tab.

• For Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000, select Configure Port under the Ports tab.

BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution)-Style Print Queue

BSD is a version of the UNIX OS that distributes software that includes TCP/IP.

Configuring the Print Queue

For remote BSD-style LPD printing, add the PSII as a remote printer in the /etc/printcap database to each host printing to the unfamiliar with these options, consult the printer documentation.

Important • You must be logged in as root.

The entry looks similar to this:

local_print_queue_name|[printer_model_and_manufacturer]:\ :lp=:mx#0:rm=ZebraNet_name:\ :rp=remote_print_queue_name:\ :sd=path_to_spool_directory:lf=just log_file_name

PSII. You can add printcap options as needed. If you are

local_print_queue_name — This defines the name of the printcap entry. It is used by the LPR/LPD utilities to specify which printcap entry is being refe re nced. Additio nal printca p entries can be added as needed for different queue types. Each entry must have a unique local_print_queue_name and a different spool directory to work properly. When you are ready to print, use the local_print_queue_name that matches the data type of the file to be printed.

ZebraNet_name — This is the name (alias) of the ZebraNet name as entered in the /etc/ hosts file or your NIS or DNS system. An IP address may also be used here.

remote_print_queue_name — This entry determines the ZebraNet port where the print job will be printed and optionally specifies ASCII printing that must end for LF1.

path_to_spool_directory — This is the path to a directory where the print jobs will be spooled for this queue. You must create a unique spool directory for each printcap entry.

log_file_name — This is the path to a file where error information from the LPD will be logged.

Example • Your printcap entries might look similar to this:

Ascii_files|form.feed.Queue_on_Port_1:\ :lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUELF1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/myqueuelf1:\ :lf=/usr/spool/myqueuelf1/queue.log

IPP

To set up your PSII to support IPP, complete these steps:

Important • You must have IPP support on your system.

IPP is an application-level protocol used for distributed printing over the Internet. Using IPP from any standard IPP client, you can transfer jobs to a printer that is connected to your ZebraNet

Important • IPP support is not available on all PSII printers. To be certain you are running

PSII device and the Internet.

the latest version of firmware, visit our Web site: www.zebra.com

1. Open a browser.

2. Enter the PSII IPP URL as follows:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:631/ipp/port1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = the IP address of the PrintServer II

device :631 = a fixed value /ipp = a fixed string designating IPP /port1 = a fixed value

Example • Your address might look like this:

http:198.60.248.120:631/ipp/port1

Note • Because IPP does not have an official standard, usage depends entirely on the

quality of the IPP client and server.

Using Printing Protocols

Embedded within the PSII is an FTP server application that processes file transfers from a host computer to the printer.

If the printer is on a network, label formats can be generated and data can be transferred without setting up a print queue.

To send information to the printer in a Windows environment, try this alternative exercise:

1. In a text editor, generate the following ZPL II code:

^XA ^FO100,100 ^CF0,55^FDZebra Technologies^FS ^XZ

2. Save the file and name it test.txt.

3. Open the MS-DOS Command Prompt and type:

ftp <IP of PrintServer II>

FTP

Example • If the IP address of your PSII device is 12.3.4.123, you would type:

ftp 12.3.4.123.

This opens a session with the FTP server.

Note • The default user name is blank.

4. Type your user name and press Enter.

5. Type:

put test.txt This transfers test.txt to the printer, and the printer generates a labe l.

6. To terminate the FTP session, type:

quit

follows identifies what each menu option page looks like:

Enabled Protocols Modifies the protocols to be used. NetWare, HP

JetAdmin, or both. Enabling HP JetAdmin Support allows status

from the Zebra device to display in HewlettPackard’s HP JetAdmin utility.

Netware

Preferr ed Tree — Enter the tree that the printer is in.

Print Server Name — Enter the name of the printer.

Disable NetWare SAP — Enables or disables the broadcast SAP (Service Advertising Protocol) messages. T ypically, SAP is enabled. If SAPs are disabled, the print server does not appear in the bindery and is not discovered by ZebraNet View. Disabling SAPs reduces network traffic, however, SAPs should be disabled, only on networks using NDPS exclusively or NetWare 5 over the IP protocol.

NetWare Frame Format — You can select how the frames for the data packets are assembled. The default is Automatic Sensing.
