Zebra Mobile Printers • Wireless Configuration Guide • rev. H 28
Once a printer is part of a network, it can be configured using
“http” or “Telnet” protocols. The printer must have the ap-
propriate files installed to allow use of http and it must have
a “web page” file in its memory. This html file can be cre-
ated using html protocol and formatting with any text editor
and downloaded to the printer. Zebra also supplies a sample
printer web page (sample.html) shown opposite, which can be
used as a template.
Setting Configuration Protocols With Label Vista
Label Vista has the capability of selecting either http or Telnet
protocols in the /Printer/Network settings window. Click on the
“Protocols” tab and select the “HTTP” check box to set your
printer for that protocol.
In a similar manner, select the “TELNET” check box to con
-
figure the printer via telnet. Note that there is no need for an
.html “Web page” file to be present in the printer to allow use
of the Telnet protocol.
Configuring With A Web Browser Via http
If your printer is on a network and has a web page loaded into
memory, you can view and change its configuration using a
web browser such as Netscape™ or Internet Explorer™. Type
in the printer’s IP address to view its web page. Changes to the
printer’s configuration can be made via the menus that have
been built into the printer’s web page.
The web page can utilize the full set of “get, set, do” com-
mands that are detailed in Section 14 of the CPCL Program-
mers Manual, so a completely customized web page can be
constructed, allowing you to view and configure virtually any of
the printer’s operating parameters. The example to the right is
how the default web page appears on a browser.
The Default Web Page
The html file that follows (sample.html) defines the default
web page supplied by Zebra which is shown above. It can be
used as a template to create more elaborate web pages. Note
that “get, set, do” parameters described in the CPCL Program-
mer’s Manual, Section 14 are utilized within the .html code to
allow configuration of specific parameters.
