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 
Wired and Wireless Print Server User Guide. To download the latest version

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 24.
2. Connect the printer to an Ethernet cable that is connected to your network.

LAN’s gateway and subnet values and gets an IP address. The printer display will 
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 98 for additional ways to view the IP address.
