Assigning an IP Address for Network Access
All devices on an Ethernet network (LAN and WLAN) require a network IP (Internet Protocol)
address. The printer’s IP address is needed to access the printer for printing and printer
configuration. The five different ways to assign an IP address are:
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Connection Protocol) - Default setting
• Zebra Setup Utilities (includes the ZebraDesigner Windows printer driver)
• Telnet
• Mobile Apps
• ZebraNet Bridge
DHCP for Personal Networks
The printer by default is set to operate on a Ethernet LAN or Wi-Fi network with DHCP. This
setting is intended primarily for personal networks. The network automatically provides a new
network IP address each time the printer is turned on. The Windows printer driver uses a Static
IP address to connect to the printer. The IP address set in the printer driver will need to be
changed to access the printer if its assigned IP address has changed after the printer’s initial
installation.
Managed Networks
Using the printer in a structured network (LAN or Wi-Fi) requires a network administrator to
assign the printer a Static IP address and other settings needed to operate on the network
properly.
Print Server - Default User ID and Password
There are some features that require the default User ID and/or default password to access the
printer’s print server or if you have the Wi-Fi option in the printer. The Factory Default Values are
shown below:
• User ID: admin
• Password: 1234
