Set Up the Wi-Fi Print Server Option

This section covers basic configuration of your internal Wi-Fi Print Server option. For more detailed information, refer to the Wired and Wireless Print Servers User Guide.

The wireless radio option, which includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth classic and Bluetooth Low Energy (LE), is available only as a factory-installed configuration.

The setup procedures in this guide explain how to configure Wi-Fi connectivity to your printer using the Connectivity Wizard, the first option listed below. Two other options are also listed.

Through the Connectivity Wizard	The wizard writes a ZPL script for you based on the settings you set. You can opt to send the script command directly to your printer or save the ZPL script to a file. If you save the script to a file, you can: Send the file to the printer through any available connection (serial, parallel, USB, or wired print server). Send the file to the printer again after network settings are restored to their factory defaults. Send the file to multiple printers that need identical network settings.
Using a ZPL script that you write yourself	Use the ^WX command to set the basic parameters for security type. You can send the command through any available connection (serial, parallel, USB, or wired print server). Refer to the ZPL Programming Guide for more information on this option.
Through Set/Get/Do (SGD) commands that you send to the printer	Begin by using the wlan.security command to set the wireless security type. Depending on the security type you select, additional SGD commands will be necessary to specify other parameters. You can send the commands through any available connection (serial, parallel, USB, or wired print server). Refer to the ZPL Programming Guide for details.
