Using the Printer

WLAN Overview
The printers are optionally equipped with a Dual Radio that uses the industry standard 802.11ac protocols
and Bluetooth 4.1. They will have the FCC ID number on the serial number label on the back of the unit.
• Wireless Network Printers with the Zebra 802.11ac WLAN radio module can be identified by the text
“Wireless Network Printer” on the serial number label on the back of the printer.
• These printers allow communication as a node within a wireless local area network (WLAN). Methods
of establishing communications to the printer will vary with each application.
More information and LAN configuration utilities are included in the ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise™ program
(version 2.8 and later).
Zebra Setup Utilities (ZSU) and Zebra Mobile Setup Utility can also be used to configure WLAN
communications settings. Both ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise and ZSU may be downloaded from the Zebra
Web site.
