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. Use a network configuration label to determine if an option board is
installed or to determine which one is installed (see Print Network Configuration Information
on page 46). Contact your authorized Zebra reseller for more information.
PCMCIA and Compact Flash Memory Cards PCMCIA memory or Compact Flash
memory cards will not work and are not supported on the Wireless Plus Print Server. The
Internal Wireless Plus Print Server does not include a slot for these card types.
Firmware
Supported Firmware Versions After a wireless option board is installed, your printer
must be running a supported firmware version to access the features in this manual. See
Table 1 for the firmware versions.
Wireless Print Servers with Older Firmware You may download the latest firmware
appropriate for your printer to access the latest encryption features. With the Wireless Print
Server, not all features in this manual may be available to you. Go to
http://www.zebra.com/firmware for firmware download options.
S4M Printers with Older Wireless Option Board For the S4M printer, do not
download firmware version V50.15.x unless you have the correct wireless option board
installed. The older wireless option board does not support firmware version V50.15.x or later.
See Table 1 for more details on this restriction and to determine if you have the correct
wireless option board.
