Setting Up the Wi-Fi Print Server Option

Setting Up the Wi-Fi Print Server Option

This section covers the basic configuration of your internal Wi-Fi Print Server option. For more detailed information, refer to the Wired and Wireless Print Servers User Guide. See zebra.com/manuals.
You may configure the printer for wireless operation in the following ways. This basic guide covers only the first option, the Connectivity Wizard.
  • Through the Connectivity Wizard
    , which writes a ZPL script for you. On the last screen of the utility, you may choose to send the command directly to the printer, or you may choose to save the ZPL script to a file. The saved ZPL file has several purposes:
    • The file can be sent to the printer through any available connection (USB, or wired print server).
    • The file can be resent to the printer after the network settings have been restored to factory defaults.
    • The file can be sent to multiple printers that will use the same network settings.
  • Through ZPL
    a 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 (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 with
    WLAN.security
    to set the wireless security type. Depending on which security type that you select, other SGD commands will be necessary to specify other parameters. You can send the commands through any available connection (USB, or wired print server). Refer to the ZPL Programming Guide for more information on this option.
