4. On the back of the PSII, insert a live 10BASE-T cable into the Ethernet connector. 5. Turn on the printer.
A red status indicator blinks during the Power On Self Test (POST) and changes to green when the initialization is finished. The Test button is a small hole on the PSII device. To press it, you need to insert something small into the hole, like a paperclip.
6. Press the Test button located on the bottom of the PSII. This prints out a PSII

configuration label.

Important Label length, DPI and your firmware version:
For all printers, the minimum label length is 4 in. (10.16 cm). For printers with firmware version 7.01 and higher, regardless of the dpi, a 2-inch (5 cm) label prints For printers with firmware version 7 and lower, see the table that follows.
This table shows you how to determine the minimum label width needed to print a PSII configuration label for printers with firmware version 7 or lower:

DPI Inches

200 150

1.25 2.50 3.69 5.0

This is an example of a PSII configuration label. The numbers identify the settings you need to know. The table following the illustration provides a description of each number. Figure 3 PSII Configuration Label
This shows the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of the PSII device. If the IP address is set at 0.0.0.0, you need the serial number (in number 3) to set the IP address. This shows all the Novell settings. This shows the serial number, hardware address (MAC address), and firmware version of the PSII device.
Installation Internal PSII

Note Contact your System Administrator before installing this software. You must have
Administrator rights on your network to install most of these utilities.
To install the ZebraNet Utilities, complete these steps:
The steps that follow reflect the steps and dialogs for a typical installation. If you plan to conduct a custom installation, the dialogs you see will differ from those in this procedure.
1. Insert the CD-ROM into the drive.
Important Is AutoPlay enabled on your computer?
Yes. Your computer automatically launches the installation. No. You need to navigate to the Software>ZebraNet Util>setup.exe on the CD-ROM and manually launch the installation.

2. Click Next>.

This dialog box lets you select the utilities that you want to install.
Each of these options has drop-down menus from which to choose.
Important If you installed ZebraNet View Java Applet, you must complete the
installation steps for ZebraNet View Java Applet on page 40.
3. In the ZebraNet Utilities dialog, select the features you want to install and click Next>.
This dialog box gives you the chance to reset your installation settings.
4. In the ZebraNet Utilities dialog, you have the option to review and make any changes to
your installation settings. When you are satisfied with your installation settings, click Install. When the installation is complete, this dialog opens.

5. Click Finish.

Important When the installation is complete, you need to restart your system for the

changes to take effect.

Installation ZebraNet View Java Applet
ZebraNet View Java Applet
If you selected ZebraNet View Java Applet when you installed the ZebraNet Utilities, you need to complete a few installation steps to work with this utility.
To install ZebraNet View Java Applet, complete these steps:
1. From the task bar, select Programs>ZebraNet Utilities>ZebraNet View Java Applet 1.0.
This Security Warning dialog opens.
2. To begin the installation, click Yes.

2. You can use the route add command to place the default IP address into the
workstation's network routing table.
Example In the next step, **** is the IP address on the PSII configuration label.
3. At the workstation/host command prompt (in Windows, go the DOS prompt), type:
route add **** "IP address of the workstation" 0
Note The zero (0) placed at the end of the "route add" command is optional on some systems.
4. Telnet to the PSII by typing:
"Telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" The password is 1234.
5. When finished, you can alter the appropriate settings. When complete, do a reset and allow the PSII self test to complete before proceeding with any communications activity.
Gleaning: To use this method, complete these steps:
Note Gleaning works only on local subnets at routers. It does not pass Address Resolution
Protocol (ARP) broadcasts. A method by which the PSII uses the IP address of the first ping packet that is sent to its Hardware address.
1. Add an entry to the ARP table that assigns an IP address to an Ethernet (Hardware)
address. The syntax for this command is: arp -s "temporary ipaddress of print server" "MAC Address (print server hardware address)" arp -s <temporary ip address> <MAC Address>
Example You would type: arp -s 10.3.50.59 00-40-68-1D-B9-86
2. Power cycle the printer. 3. As the printer reboots, begin a continuous ping to the address assigned previously.
Note Most UNIX systems use a continuous ping.
To use a continuous ping from a Windows host, you must issue the command: ping -t "ipaddress".
4. When the PSII begins to respond, stop the ping activity.
In Windows, Ctrl + C halts the pinging.
5. Telnet to the PSII and assign the appropriate IP address, subnet mask, and gateway if

applicable.

6. Once this is complete, reset the PSII.
For details on resetting the PSII, see Reset on page 97.

8. Click Add. 9. To save the configuration, click OK.
Now you can use ZebraNet Connect IP. Whenever you print to the Windows printer configured with ZebraNet Connect IP, your print job will go directly to the PSII port.

IPX (NetWare)

ZebraNet Connect for IPX/SPX is a utility that allows simple, direct, IPX/SPX printing from your computer to a printer attached to a ZebraNet PSII. Print jobs printed through the ZebraNet Connect utility are sent directly to the PSII and do not require a NetWare server, resulting in a reduction of network traffic. If you have printing problems while using the PSII Connect printing port, you can check the status of the port or change its settings under the printer Properties window. For Windows 95/98, select Port Settings under the Details tab. For Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000, select Configure Port under the Ports tab. Notify on Printer Error This feature checks the printer status prior to printing the job. If a printer error is detected (e.g., printer off-line), the error description is given. Notify When Printed This feature provides an alert when your job is active on the printer. This is useful if the printer is unusually busy. Description An optional field in which you can list any useful information about the printer port, such as location.

Printing Configurations

This chapter provides information and instructions on configuring your printer.
Printing Configurations BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution)-Style Print Queue
BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution)-Style Print Queue
BSD is a version of the UNIX OS that distributes software that includes TCP/IP.
Configuring the Print Queue
For remote BSD-style LPD printing, add the PSII as a remote printer in the /etc/printcap database to each host printing to the PSII. You can add printcap options as needed. If you are unfamiliar with these options, consult the printer documentation.
Important You must be logged in as root.
The entry looks similar to this: local_print_queue_name|[printer_model_and_manufacturer]:\ :lp=:mx#0:rm=ZebraNet_name:\ :rp=remote_print_queue_name:\ :sd=path_to_spool_directory:lf=just log_file_name local_print_queue_name This defines the name of the printcap entry. It is used by the LPR/LPD utilities to specify which printcap entry is being referenced. Additional printcap entries can be added as needed for different queue types. Each entry must have a unique local_print_queue_name and a different spool directory to work properly. When you are ready to print, use the local_print_queue_name that matches the data type of the file to be printed. ZebraNet_name This is the name (alias) of the ZebraNet PSII. This must be the same name as entered in the /etc/ hosts file or your NIS or DNS system. An IP address may also be used here. remote_print_queue_name This entry determines the ZebraNet port where the print job will be printed and optionally specifies ASCII printing that must end for LF1. path_to_spool_directory This is the path to a directory where the print jobs will be spooled for this queue. You must create a unique spool directory for each printcap entry. log_file_name This is the path to a file where error information from the LPD will be logged.

Example Your printcap entries might look similar to this:
Ascii_files|form.feed.Queue_on_Port_1:\ :lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUELF1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/myqueuelf1:\ :lf=/usr/spool/myqueuelf1/queue.log
Important Each printcap entry must have a different spool directory to work properly.

Embedded within the PSII is an FTP server application that processes file transfers from a host computer to the printer. If the printer is on a network, label formats can be generated and data can be transferred without setting up a print queue.
To send information to the printer in a Windows environment, try this alternative exercise:
1. In a text editor, generate the following ZPL II code:
^XA ^FO100,100 ^CF0,55^FDZebra Technologies^FS ^XZ
2. Save the file and name it test.txt. 3. Open the MS-DOS Command Prompt and type:
ftp <IP of PrintServer II>
Example If the IP address of your PSII device is 12.3.4.123, you would type:
ftp 12.3.4.123. This opens a session with the FTP server.

Netware Preferred Tree Enter the tree that the printer is in. Print Server Name Enter the name of the printer. Disable NetWare SAP Enables or disables the broadcast SAP (Service Advertising Protocol) messages. Typically, SAP is enabled. If SAPs are disabled, the print server does not appear in the bindery and is not discovered by ZebraNet View. Disabling SAPs reduces network traffic, however, SAPs should be disabled, only on networks using NDPS exclusively or NetWare 5 over the IP protocol. NetWare Frame Format You can select how the frames for the data packets are assembled. The default is Automatic Sensing. For details, see Help.
TCP/IP Configuration You can change the TCP/IP Configuration of the PSII. For details, see Help.
TCP/IP Logical Printing Ports Logical printers allow you to set up multiple preand post-processing configurations for each output port. Each logical port configuration can do the following: Add user-configured strings before and after the print data. Remove unwanted characters from the beginning of the print data. Four logical printer configurations are supported for each output port on the printer. The configurations can be assigned to any port, and all of these configurations can be assigned to a single output port.
System (SNMP) This feature gives you the ability to manage multiple devices on a network, be it printers, computers, or other network-attached devices. On this page you can define the SNMP system name, system location (PSII description), and other SNMP settings for your PSII.
IPX Alerts (Traps) Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) is Netwares network-layer protocol that handles networking addressing, routing, and packets. This feature has you enter the IPX Network Address and IPX Node Address to which traps will be sent. To broadcast traps to all addresses on all networks, enter FFFFFFFF in the IPX Network address field and FFFFFFFFFFFF in the IPX Node Address field. To broadcast traps to all addresses on a specific local network, enter the network number in the IPX Network Address field and then FFFFFFFFFFFF in the IPX Node Address field. To disable traps, set all destination addresses to 0.

Status Indicator

A bi-color Status Indicator displays the operational status of the PSII. The following conditions might occur: During normal operation, the LED is solid green for more than 30 seconds. This indicates all the hardware is functioning properly and it has detected the presence of the network. It does not mean the PSII has an IP address or is attached to a printer queue. If the LED is rapidly flashing green (9 times/sec), the PSII has not detected the presence of a network cable. To solve the problem: Turn the printer power off. Remove the network cable from the PSII. Plug the network cable back in until you hear a positive click. Check the other end of the cable in the same manner. Turn the printer power on. If the PSII still does not detect a cable, continue.
Important Cables with a rating higher than CAT-5 have not been tested.
Verify that the network cable is 10BASE-T and has an RJ-45 connector. Connect the PSII to a network drop that is a known good network connection. If the PSII is still unable to detect the network cable, contact Technical Support for assistance.
If the LED is slowly flashing green (1 time/sec), the PSII is trying to print a job. If the job does not print, check the following: Verify that the printer has media and ribbon (if in thermal transfer mode). If the printer is showing any errors, it is unlikely that the PSII can send data to the printer. The LED continues to blink until the printer malfunction is resolved or until the printer is turned off. Flashing red indicates the Power On Self Test (POST) is in progress.
If the LED is solid red for more than 30 seconds, the PSII has failed the POST. If the failure is not severe, the PSII attempts to print a configuration label on the printer. A failed POST can be caused by any of the following: The printer attached to the PSII device is malfunctioning. Turn the printer power off, wait 10 seconds, then turn the printer back on. If the PSII still fails the POST, continue below. The PSII has a hardware problem that can be fixed only by replacing or returning the unit. Contact Technical Support for repair or replacement information.

What are my network connectivity options based on when using a PSII?

Glossary

10BASE-T A type of Ethernet that uses unshielded twisted pair cable. arp The standard TCP/IP method for determining the actual network address of a device based on its IP address. ASCII A standard for the binary representation of characters. BOOTP BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is a protocol that lets a network client configure automatically. It can automatically configure any of the following information: IP address, gateway, subnet, system name, name server, and more. It automatically assigns the necessary settings from a pool of pre-determined addresses for a certain duration of time. BOOTP is the basis for a more advanced network manager protocol, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). broadcast In a network, a situation when all destinations on the network receive a given packet. client A workstation or PC in a client/server environment. community For SNMP, a relationship between an agent and a set of SNMP managers that defines security characteristics. The community concept is a local one, defined at the agent. Each community is given a unique community name. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) DHCP is an alternative to another network IP management protocol, Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). Like BOOTP, DHCP can configure an IP address, gateway, subnet, system name, and name server. When speaking about the PSII, BOOTP, and DHCP configure the same options. delete bytes This number is used to remove characters from the beginning of every job sent to the logical printer. The value for delete bytes can range from 0 to 255.
dynamic A dynamic configuration, as the name implies, means that it changes. BOOTP and DHCP offer time-based leases for the configurations they assign. Their changes depend on the time-based lease, and how often the printer itself is offline and online again. A dynamic configuration includes BOOTP or DHCP. EPL Eltron Programming Language. Ethernet A widely used local area network system based on the IEEE 802.3 standard. firmware Software routines that are stored in ROM (Read Only Memory). This is typically part of a device, such as a printer or PSII. FTP File Transfer Protocol, a TCP/IP-related protocol for transferring files between devices on a network. Flash memory A type of memory that allows read-and-write operations, but permanently stores data when the power is turned off. Useful for storing firmware because it can be easily updated by downloading new code. gateway A device that converts one higher-level network protocol to a different higher level protocol. gleaning A temporary, local configuration option. Gleaning lets you add the address of the device you want to configure to your local workstations arp table. This configuration is not permanent and is valid only from the workstation from which you entered the arp information. After the information is entered into the workstations arp table, the user follows up with a Telnet session to enter the information permanently. This configuration option is used mostly by non-Windows workstations that cannot run the ZebraNet View configuration utility. IP Internet Protocol, one of the main protocols of the TCP/IP protocol suite. IP address A network address used by the TCP/IP protocol. IPP Internet Printing Protocol. Allows you to associate a printer with a URL address that is used for printing over the Internet. IPX Internetwork Packet Exchange, one of the NetWare protocols. JetAdmin A Hewlett-Packard printer management program available for NetWare and TCP/IP. logical Refers to conceptual rather than physical. For example, a computer might have a single physical connection to the network (an Ethernet adapter card), but could have logical connections to several other devices on the network. MAC Address Media Access Control. Ethernet address that corresponds to the assigned IP address. name server A workstation on a TCP/IP network that provides a list of all workstations on the network. NetWare A network operating system developed by Novell.

A method by which the 36,, uses the IP address of the first ping packet that is sent to its Hardware address. Add an entry to the ARP table that assigns an IP address to an Ethernet (Hardware) address. The syntax for this command is: arp -s "temporary ipaddress of print server" "MAC Address (print server hardware address)" arp -s <temporary ip address> <MAC Address> ([DPSOH You would type: arp -s 10.3.50.59 00-40-68-1D-B9-86 Power cycle the printer. As the printer reboots, begin a continuous ping to the address assigned previously. 1RWH Most UNIX systems use a continuous ping. To use a continuous ping from a Windows host, you must issue the command: ping -t "ipaddress". When the 36,, begins to respond, stop the ping activity. In Windows, &WUO + & halts the pinging. Telnet to the 36,, and assign the appropriate IP address, subnet mask, and gateway if applicable. Once this is complete, reset the 36,,. For details on resetting the 36,,, see Reset on page 86.

A bi-color Status Indicator displays the operational status of the 36,,. The following conditions might occur: During normal operation, the LED is solid green for more than 30 seconds. This indicates all the hardware is functioning properly and it has detected the presence of the network. It does not mean the 36,, has an IP address or is attached to a printer queue. If the LED is rapidly flashing green (9 times/sec), the 36,, has not detected the presence of a network cable. To solve the problem: Turn the printer power off. Remove the network cable from the 36,,. Plug the network cable back in until you hear a positive click. Check the other end of the cable in the same manner. Turn the printer power on. If the 36,, still does not detect a cable, continue. ,PSRUWDQW Cables with a rating higher than CAT-5 have not been tested. Verify that the network cable is 10BASE-T and has an RJ-45 connector. Connect the 36,, to a network drop that is a known good network connection. If the 36,, is still unable to detect the network cable, contact Technical Support for assistance. If the LED is slowly flashing green (1 time/sec), the 36,, is trying to print a job. If the job does not print, check the following: Verify that the printer has media and ribbon (if in thermal transfer mode). If the printer is showing any errors, it is unlikely that the 36,, can send data to the printer. The LED continues to blink until the printer malfunction is resolved or until the printer is turned off.
Flashing red indicates the Power On Self Test (POST) is in progress. If the LED is solid red for more than 30 seconds, the 36,, has failed the POST. If the failure is not severe, the 36,, attempts to print a configuration label on the printer. A failed POST can be caused by any of the following: The printer attached to the 36,, device is malfunctioning. Turn the printer power off, wait 10 seconds, then turn the printer back on. If the 36,, still fails the POST, continue below. The 36,, has a hardware problem that can be fixed only by replacing or returning the unit. Contact Technical Support for repair or replacement information. If the LED is alternately flashing red and green for longer than 2 minutes, the 36,, is in firmware-download mode. This means it is waiting for new firmware data to be sent before it continues normal functioning. Perform the following: If the 36,, was purposely put into firmware-download mode, finish the download with the proper update utility. Contact the Zebra Web site at http://www.zebra.com to download this utility. Contact Technical Support for help recovering this unit.

4XHVWLRQ Will the ZebraNet 36,, allow connectivity to anything other than a PC network?
$QVZHU Yes. The ZebraNet 36,, allows connectivity to systems such as IBMs AS400, provided that it is configured using TCP/IP. Other network protocols can be used with third-party adapters that are converted to 10BASE-T. No. The ZebraNet 36,, option is a 10BASE-T print server. This means that the data cannot travel any faster than 10 megabits per second. The ZebraNet 36,, can be deployed on a network that is utilizing 10/100 hubs, but the ZebraNet 36,, operates at only 10 megabits per second. These are the things to check: Confirm that the printer is turned on and receiving power. Confirm that the network cable is plugged in and that you can ping the printer. If the above bullets do not change the outcome, it is likely that there was a misconfiguration while creating the queue. The queue must be recreated verifying the following: Confirm that you use the print servers valid IP address. If you are using a UNIX or AS/400 host, there is an option for the remote queue name. There is only one valid response to use: PORTLF1. If Windows does not have LPR installed, the above required option should be left blank. See the documentation for other operating system specific queue creation.
Will the ZebraNet 36,, option work on a 10BASE-T per second network?
What if a print job makes it to the queue, but never leaves the queue? The label does not print.

4XHVWLRQ What are my network connectivity options based on when using a PSII?
$QVZHU It depends on your environment, but the print server accepts print jobs in any of the following ways: FTPZPL/EPL files can be sent to the printer via a FTP client as standard ASCII files HTTP(ZebraLink-enabled printers only) Using the script option of the print servers homepage, you can type ZPL into a specified location of the Web browser and send it to the printer IPPUsing third-party IPP clients, print jobs can be sent via the internet LPR/LPDSometimes referred to as queue based printing. LPR/LPD is the standard in network printing. Most TCP/IP operating systems are compatible with this option Raw socket connectionYou can connect to the printer directly via the network, bypassing everything in-between. This option is commonly used to integrate ZPL/ EPL into existing programs, such as VB scripts POP3With proper configuration, you can place ZPL/EPL files into the body of an email, and it will print. The print server periodically checks this email box at the specified intervals and prints the body of the message. IMPORTANT: attachments and subject line are not supported
