This chapter provides a high-level overview of Zebra’s wired and wireless print servers,
installation types, standard network configurations, and how to work with the print servers.
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 the ZebraNet Bridge, you can easily
access the specialized features of a ZebraLink-enabled printer. For details, see the ZebraNet
Bridge Enterprise User Guide.
Important • 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 ZebraNet Wireless Print Server and the ZebraNet
Wireless Plus Print Server. All other Zebranet wireless print servers 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 ZebraNet Wireless Print Server or the ZebraNet Wireless Plus Print
Server.
Note •
•Some wireless radio cards listed here may not support all ZebraNet wireless print server
features.
•See Table 1 on page 19 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 the wireless radio
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.

Supported Security Types
Your WLAN can use any of a number of different types of security and encryption, or it can
use none at all. This section shows which security types you can use with the various ZebraNet
wireless print servers.
Note • Configuring a printer for WPA also allows the printer to be used in WPA2
environments.

ZebraNet Wireless Plus Print Server
Table 1 lists the security types that are supported by the Wireless Plus Print Server. Support
varies by the card manufacturer and the card type. Select a wireless radio card that is supported
by your wireless print server and that supports the security type being used on your WLAN.

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 b/g Print Server do not include a slot for these card
types.
Wireless Card Socket Option The ZebraNet 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 Configuration Labels” section in your 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 servers as
shown in Table 6.
