Overview

The PSII is an optional factory or field-installed device that connects the network and your Zebra printer. If your printer has ZebraLink, PSII can provide you with a browser user interface for printer and print server settings. If your printer also has ZebraNet Utilities, you have even more functionality.

Components Description

Printer with PSII only PSII gives your printer these features:

Introduction

Overview

ZebraLink enabled printer with PSII

• enables the remote monitoring and configuration

capability of the PSII using a Web- browser.

• enables the printer to send unsolicited status mes-

sages via email-enabled devices.

A ZebraLink enabled printer with PSII gives you all the above mentioned features (WebView and Alert), plus these features:

• ZBI ™ (Zebra BASIC Interpreter)—programming

language that works with ZPL II to control and interpret incoming text and data. This provides you with the ability to create stand-alone applications using a printer and peripheral devices, such as a scale or a scanner, without needing a PC host. Internet-aware ZBI can then transmit data captured by these devices over your LAN, WAN, or wireless network by using a Wireless Card Socket (WCS) option via email or TCP/ IP messaging.

NOTE • PSII can be either field or factory installed for additional features. For details, see Installation

Types on page 16.

ZebraNet Utilities

ZebraNet® Utilities is a suite of software programs for your computer that works with

PSII and enhances the

features of ZebraLink™ resident within ZPL-based printers. The features include:

• ZebraNet Alert lets you configure multiple event

alerts per 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 lets you, with Windows, enable

simple printer selection of an IP addressable printer.
