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.x firmware, the default is for the printer to skip the check for a wired
print server during bootup. This makes the wireless print server the primary network device.
To change this and allow the wired print server to be the primary network device when it is
connected, use one of the following to tell the printer to check for a wired print server at
bootup time:
•the WIRELESS PS CHECK parameter on the control panel (see Table 10, Wireless
Parameters for V60.15.x, R6x.15.x, ZSPx, or later Firmware on page 48)
•the
^NB ZPL command (see ^NB on page 95)
• the Primary/Secondary settings web page (see Primary/Secondary Settings on page 73)
Table 5 identifies which device becomes the active print server under different conditions.
