Connect to Your Network through the Printer’s Ethernet Port
If you wish to use a wired print server (Ethernet) connection, you may need to connect the
printer to your computer using one of the other available connections. While the printer is
connected via one of those connections, you would configure the printer to communicate with
your Local Area Network (LAN) through the printer’s wired print server.
For additional information about Zebra print servers, refer to the ZebraNet

To connect the printer to your computer by a wired print server, complete these
steps:
1. Install Zebra Setup Utilities as instructed in Install Zebra Setup Utilities on page 28.
2. Connect the printer to an Ethernet cable that is connected to your network.

alternate between the printer’s firmware version and its IP address.
3. Check the display to see if an IP address was assigned to the printer. See IP Address
on page 109 for additional ways to view the IP address.
