Ethernet (LAN, RJ-45)

Ethernet (LAN, RJ-45)

The printer requires UTP RJ45 Ethernet cable rated CAT-5 or better.
The printer has a built-in network print server. For more information on configuring your printer to run on a compatible Ethernet based network, see the Wired and Wireless Print Server users guide. The printer must be configured to run on your network. The print server on board your printer can be accessed through the printer’s print server Web pages.

Ethernet Status/Activity Indicators

The Ethernet connector on the printer has two status/activity indicators. They are partially visible to display the status of the Ethernet interface connection at the connector. The printer also has the control panel indicator lights to display the printer's network operational status (see Resolve Alerts and Errors for details).

Assign an IP Address for Network Access

All devices on an Ethernet network (LAN and WLAN) require a network IP address. You will need the printer’s IP address to access the printer for configuration and printing purposes. You or a network administrator can assign an IP address to the printer using one of these methods:
  • DHCP (Dynamic Host Connection Protocol) (default setting)
  • Zebra Setup Utilities (includes the ZebraDesigner Windows printer driver)
  • Telnet
  • Mobile apps
  • ZebraNet Bridge

DHCP for Personal Networks

By default, your printer is set to operate on an Ethernet LAN or Wi-Fi network with DHCP. This setting is intended primarily for personal networks. The network automatically provides a new network IP address each time the printer is powered ON.
The Windows printer driver uses a static IP address to connect to the printer. If the printer's assigned IP address has changed following the initial installation. you or a network administrator must change the IP address set in the printer driver to enable access to the printer for configuration and printing purposes.

Managed Networks

If the printer will be used in a structured network (LAN or Wi-Fi), a network administrator must assign the printer a static IP address and possibly other settings which it will need to operate on the network.

Print Server – Default User ID and Password

You may require the default User ID and/or default password to access the printer’s print server or features associated with the Wi-Fi option in the printer. The factory default values are:
  • User ID: admin
  • Password: 1234
