Introduction Connecting to a Wireless Network Connecting to a Wireless Network The ZebraNet wireless print servers are Ethernet connectivity options for your printer. With one of these wireless print servers, the printer communicates with a wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) through a wireless radio card instead of being connected to a wired Local Area Network (LAN) with physical wires. Figure 2 shows the network architecture of a typical WLAN setup.
PAGE 16
Introduction Connecting to a Wireless Network Supported Wireless Radio Cards Note • The ZebraNet Internal Wireless Plus Print Server and the ZebraNet b/g Print Server have a built-in wireless radio card. This section applies only to the ZebraNet Wireless Print Server and the ZebraNet Wireless Plus Print Server. A supported third-party PCMCIA, Compact Flash™, or CardBus wireless radio card is required for the printer to qualify with the WLAN.

Introduction Determining the Active Print Server Determining the Active Print Server Most printers can have wired and wireless print servers installed at the same time. However, only one of the installed print servers can be active at any given time. Viewing IP Addresses and the Active Print Server The wired and wireless print servers have different IP addresses. The printer’s control panel displays the IP address of the active print server (see View Wireless Status through the Control Panel on page 31).

Introduction Determining the Active Print Server Active Device Selection Your active print server selection is dependent on the model of printer or print engine that you have. If your printer is a(n)… Then… • S4M Only one print server (wired or wireless) can be installed at a time. Thus, the print server installed is the primary print server. • • • • • • • • 105SL XiIIIPlus R110Xi R170Xi Z4Mplus Z6Mplus PAX4 R110PAX4 You may select which installed device is the primary network device.

Glossary alphanumeric Indicating letters, numerals, and characters such as punctuation marks. backfeed When the printer pulls the media and ribbon (if used) backward into the printer so that the beginning of the label to be printed is properly positioned behind the printhead. Backfeed occurs when operating the printer in Tear-Off and Applicator modes. bar code A code by which alphanumeric characters can be represented by a series of adjacent stripes of different widths.
PAGE 82
Glossary dynamic RAM The memory devices used to store the label formats in electronic form while they are being printed. The amount of DRAM memory available in the printer determines the maximum size and number of label formats that can be printed. This is volatile memory that loses the stored information when power is turned off.
PAGE 83
Glossary ips (inches-per-second) The speed at which the label or tag is printed. Zebra printers can print from 1 ips to 12 ips. Kerberos Network authentication protocol that uses the concept of a time-limited “ticket” for access to network resources. Kerberos uses key distribution and client/server authentication. light emitting diode (LED) Indicators of specific printer status conditions. Each LED is either off, on, or blinking depending on the feature being monitored.
PAGE 84
Glossary printhead wear The degradation of the surface of the printhead and/or the print elements over time. Heat and abrasion can cause printhead wear. Therefore, to maximize the life of the printhead, use the lowest print darkness setting (sometimes called burn temperature or head temperature) and the lowest printhead pressure necessary to produce good print quality.
