Introduction Printer Requirements and Print Server Features Printer Requirements and Print Server Features This section defines the requirements for using the different ZebraNet wireless print servers. It also defines features of and limitations to the wireless print servers on different printer models. Hardware Wireless Option Board A special wireless option board must be installed in your printer/print engine.
Introduction Printer Requirements and Print Server Features Supported Printer Models and Restrictions Table 1 lists the requirements and restrictions for using any of the ZebraNet wireless print servers on specific printer and print engine models. Table 1 • Supported Printer Models and Restrictions Printer Firmware Version Support for Notes and Restrictions 105SL V60.15.2Z or later ZPL V60.15.8Z or later ZPL and XML-enabled printing D60.15.0 or later APL-D I60.15.
Introduction Printer Requirements and Print Server Features Table 1 • Supported Printer Models and Restrictions (Continued) Printer Firmware Version Support for Notes and Restrictions S4M V50.15.x or later ZPL V53.15.8Z or later ZPL and XML-enabled printing E53.15.0 or later EPL D53.15.0 or later APL-D I53.15.0 or later APL-I Wireless Print Server and Wireless Plus Print Server: The printer must have the correct wireless option board installed to use the V50.15.x or later firmware.
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.
Introduction Connecting to a Wireless Network Supported Wireless Radio Cards Note • The ZebraNet Internal Wireless Print Server has 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 Connecting to a Wireless Network Cisco® Systems All Aironet® cards must have card firmware version 5.60.21 or later. • 802.11g Aironet CB21AG CardBus wireless radio card (for the Wireless Plus Print Sever only; see Table 1 on page 17 for restrictions on the Z4Mplus, R4Mplus, and Z6Mplus) • 802.11b Aironet AIR-PCMC340 • 802.11b Aironet AIR-PCMC341 • 802.11b Aironet AIR-PCMC342 • 802.11b Aironet PCMC350 • 802.11b Aironet PCMC351 • 802.
Introduction Connecting to a Wireless Network Supported Security Types Your WLAN can use any of a number of different types of security and encryption, or it can use none at all. This section shows which security types you can use with the different ZebraNet wireless print servers. Note • Configuring a printer for WPA also allows the printer to be used in WPA2 environments. ZebraNet Wireless Plus Print Server Table 2 lists the security types that are supported by the Wireless Plus Print Server.
Introduction Connecting to a Wireless Network Table 2 • Security Types Supported on the Wireless Plus Print Server (Continued) Card Manufacturer Cisco Security Type Symbol Cisco CB21 Cisco 350 LA-4121 (PCMCIA) LA-4137 Compact Flash WPA2- EAP-TTLS Yes Not Supported Not Supported Not Supported WPA2- PEAP Yes Not Supported Not Supported Not Supported * Key rotation for WPA2 PSK is supported in firmware version V60.15.8Z or later, V53.15.8Z or later., V54.16.x or later, and RX.15.8Z or later.
Introduction Connecting to a Wireless Network ZebraNet Wireless Print Server Table 4 lists the security types that are supported by the Wireless Print Server. Support varies by the card manufacturer and the card type. Select a wireless radio card that is supported by your wireless print server and that supports the security type being used on your WLAN. The Wireless Print Server does not support the Cisco CB21 radio card.
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 44).
Introduction Determining the Active Print Server Selecting the Primary Network Device In the S4M, only one print server (wired or wireless) can be installed at a time. In other printers, you can select which installed device is the primary network device. The printer tries to use the primary network device as the active print server before trying the other installed options. Check for Wired Print Server (X60.15.x only) In printers with X60.15.
Introduction Determining the Active Print Server Select the Primary Network Device (ZM400, ZM600, RZ400, and RZ600 only) The ZM400, ZM600, RZ400, and RZ600 printers support the simultaneous installation of an internal, external, and a wireless print server. Even though all three print servers may be installed, only one is connected to the network and is the active print server. Table 6 outlines priorities and identifies which device becomes the active print server when multiple print servers are installed.
