Applicator Option Limitations and Requirements The applicator interface is
used to control the print engine from an external device (usually a
label applicator).
Connections and Configuration The print engine ships with
the following caution label over the optional applicator port:
• For +5V non-isolated mode (internal power), no configuration
is necessary.
• For +5V to +28V isolated mode (external power), the jumpers
on the applicator interface board must be reconfigured. See
Applicator Interface Board Reconfiguration on page 145.
Caution • Do not apply external power until after the
applicator interface board is reconfigured for isolated mode.
Applying external power when the print engine is configured
for internal power will damage your print engine.
Wired Ethernet print
server
Option Limitations and Requirements
• Can print to the print engine from any computer on your LAN.
• Can communicate with the printer through the print engine’s
web pages.
• The printer must be configured to use your LAN.
• A parallel connection or a wireless print server (if installed)
takes up this port on the print engine.
Caution • Be careful not to plug a USB cable into a wired
Ethernet print server connector on the print engine because
doing so will damage the Ethernet connector.
Connections and Configuration Refer to the ZebraNet
Wired and Wireless Print Servers User Guide for configuration
instructions. A copy of this manual is available at
http://www.zebra.com/manuals or on the user CD that came with
your print engine.
Note • To use this connection, you may need to remove a
factory-installed plug that is designed to keep someone
from accidentally plugging a USB connector into this port.
