Setting Up the Wi-Fi Print Server Option

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 detailed  information on installing Ethernet/LAN and Bluetooth interfaces, see the Wired/Wireless Print Server User Guide and the Bluetooth Printer Management Guide available from zebra.com.
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 will prompt 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).
