Setting Up the Wi-Fi Print Server Option

The wireless radio option (which includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy) is available ONLY as a factory-installed configuration. These instructions guide you through basic configuration of your internal Wi-Fi Print Server option using the Connectivity Wizard.

For printers purchased in the EMEA region after August 1, 2025, you must configure a Protected Mode password and front panel password for the printer before you can perform wired or wireless setup. For additional information, go to zebra.com/asr or refer to the Zebra Link-OS PrintSecure Printer Administration Guide.

For other printers with Protected Mode enabled, depending on the configuration, you may need to enter the Protected Mode password to change certain settings on the printer. For more information, refer to the Zebra Link-OS PrintSecure Printer Administration Guide.

You may configure your printer for wireless operation using one of these methods:

Using the Connectivity Wizard (covered in this guide)	When run, the wizard writes a ZPL script to enable your PC to communicate with your printer over Wi-Fi. Towards the end of the process, the wizard prompts you to either send the command directly to your printer, or save the ZPL script to a file. If you elect to save this ZPL file: You can send the file to one or more printers that will use the same network settings, using any available connection (serial, parallel, USB, or wired print server). You can resend the file to the printer at a future time if the printer's network settings were restored to their factory defaults.
Using a ZPL script that you write yourself*	Use the ^WX command to set the basic parameters for Security Type.
Using Set/Get/Do (SGD) commands that you send to the printer	Begin with wlan.security to set the Wireless Security type. Then add other SGD commands (which will be necessary based on the security type you select) to specify the other required parameters.
* Refer to the ZPL Programming Guide for more information on these options. You can send these commands through any available connection (serial, parallel, USB, or wired print server).

The following settings must be configured correctly for your printer to connect through Wi-Fi:

ESSID

—specify the ESSID value that matches the value used by your wireless router. Check with your network administrator for the ESSID value to use.

WLAN Gateway

—Match the gateway value of your WLAN.

WLAN Subnet

—Match the subnet value of your WLAN.

If you make changes to any of these settings, reset the network to allow changes to the network settings to take effect. (See Connection > Networks > Reset Network.)
