Setting Up the Wi-Fi Print Server Option
This section covers basic configuration of your internal Wi-Fi Print Server option. For more detailed
information, refer to the Wired and Wireless Print Servers User Guide.
NOTE: The wireless radio option, which includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth classic and Bluetooth low energy, is only
available as a factory installed configuration.
You may configure your printer for wireless operation in the following ways. This basic guide covers only
the first option, the Connectivity Wizard.
• Through the Connectivity Wizard, which writes a ZPL script for you. On the last screen of the
utility, you may choose to send the command directly to your printer, or you may choose to save the
ZPL script to a file. The saved ZPL file has several purposes:
• The file can be sent to the printer through any available connection (serial, parallel, USB, or
wired print server).
• The file can be resent to the printer after the network settings have been restored to factory
defaults.
• The file can be sent to multiple printers that will use the same network settings.
• Through ZPL script that you write yourself. Use the ^WX command to set the basic parameters for
security type. You can send the command through any available connection (serial, parallel, USB,
or wired print server). Refer to the ZPL Programming Guide for more information on this option.
• Through Set/Get/Do (SGD) commands that you send to the printer. Begin with wlan.security to set
the wireless security type. Depending on which security type that you select, other SGD commands
will be necessary to specify other parameters. You can send the commands through any available
connection (serial, parallel, USB, or wired print server). Refer to the ZPL Programming Guide for
more information on this option.
Configure Using the ZebraNet Bridge Connectivity Wizard
NOTE: The preferred tool for connecting and configuring Link-OS printers to cloud, WLAN, and LAN; is
now Link-OS Profile Manager. You can get Profile Manager and ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise (local and
LAN configurations) utility is available through zebra.com/software. ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise version
1.2.5 or later is required to configure the printer correctly for use.
The Connectivity Wizard, which is part of this software, allows you to configure your printer easily for
wireless operation by writing the appropriate ZPL script for you. Use this utility when you are first installing
the wireless print server or after you set the network options back to factory defaults.
NOTE: You can only set up one print server at a time with the Connectivity Wizard. To configure multiple
print servers (wired and wireless), run the program once for each print server.
To use the Connectivity Wizard, complete these steps:
1. If it is not already installed, install ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise on your computer.
You can get the program from the Zebra Web site at zebra.com/software.
