Overview
The PrintServer II (PSII) is an optional factory- or field-installed interface device that supports
network connection of the Zebra printer. PSII also provides a browser-type user interface that
supports both the configuration of print server settings and the generation of unsolicited printer
status messages to email-equipped devices.
ZebraLink-enabled printers offer an additional set of web pages that allow the user to set
printer specific settings, as well as configure additional unsolicited alerts to be sent via email
or SNMP.
If your printer also has ZebraNet Utilities, you have even more functionality. For details, see

Assigning an IP Address
Before you can begin working with PSII, you must get or assign an IP address for the PSII
device.
Important • Throughout the procedure in this chapter, there are some features that require
the default User ID and/or default password. If you are prompted, these are the defaults:
•
•
User ID: admin
Password: 1234
With Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
If your network uses DHCP, your PSII device is assigned a temporary IP address. This is
important to know, because you have the option to make the temporary IP address the
permanent IP address.
Note • Check with your Network Administrator to see whether your network uses DHCP.
Without DHCP
If your network does not use a dynamic IP addressing system (such as DHCP), you need to set
a permanent IP address of the PSII device.
ZebraNet View
ZebraNet View is the Windows-based print server management and configuration utility that
came with your PSII.

Static Route: To use this method, complete these steps:
1. Turn on the printer and wait for 2 minutes to allow for the device self test.
During this time, the PSII performs an address broadcast. If no address is assigned to the
unit (via DHCP or Bootp), it uses a default address. The default address used varies with
the version of firmware the PSII is using. Print the PSII configuration label to confirm the
2. You can use the route addcommand to place the default IP address into the
workstation's network routing table.
Example • In the next step, **** is the IP address on the PSII configuration label.
3. At the workstation/host command prompt (in Windows, go the DOS prompt), type:
route add **** "IP address of the workstation" 0
Note • The zero (0) placed at the end of the "route add" command is optional on some
systems.
4. Telnet to the PSII by typing:
"Telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
The password is 1234.
5. When finished, you can alter the appropriate settings. When complete, do a reset and
allow the PSII self test to complete before proceeding with any communications activity.
Gleaning: To use this method, complete these steps:
Note • Gleaning works only on local subnets at routers. It does not pass Address Resolution
Protocol (ARP) broadcasts.
A method by which the PSII uses the IP address of the first ping packet that is sent to its
Hardware address.
1. Add an entry to the ARP table that assigns an IP address to an Ethernet (Hardware)
address.
The syntax for this command is: arp -s "temporary ipaddress of print
server" "MAC Address (print server hardware address)" arp -s
<temporary ip address> <MAC Address>
Example • You would type: arp -s 10.3.50.59 00-40-68-1D-B9-86
2. Power cycle the printer.
3. As the printer reboots, begin a continuous ping to the address assigned previously.

Setting Up a ZebraNet Connect IP
ZebraNet Connect IP allows you to send jobs to PrintServers that use Dynamic IP addresses
(DHCP). It also notifies you of printer errors, such as paper out or head open. When print jobs
are printed through ZebraNet Connect IP, they are sent directly to PSII and are not routed
through a network server, resulting in a reduction of network traffic.
Note • The DHCP feature of ZebraNet Connect IP can rediscover a PSII on the local subnet,
even when its IP address might be changing (e.g., when using DHCP for IP address
resolution). The PSII is relocated by its port name as configured through ZebraNet View (the
default name is Serial Number-Port Number). This feature is enabled on the local subnet
only. A non-local PSII device is not rediscovered if the IP address changes.
If you have printing problems while using the ZebraNet Connect IP printing port, you may
check the status of the port or change its settings through the printer Properties dialog.
• For Windows 95/98, select Port Settings under the Details tab.
• For Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000, select Configure Port under the Ports tab.

BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution)-Style Print Queue
74
BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution)-Style Print Queue
BSD is a version of the UNIX OS that distributes software that includes TCP/IP.
Configuring the Print Queue
For remote BSD-style LPD printing, add the PSII as a remote printer in the /etc/printcap
database to each host printing to the PSII. You can add printcap options as needed. If you are
unfamiliar with these options, consult the printer documentation.
Important • You must be logged in as root.
The entry looks similar to this:
local_print_queue_name|[printer_model_and_manufacturer]:\
:lp=:mx#0:rm=ZebraNet_name:\
:rp=remote_print_queue_name:\
:sd=path_to_spool_directory:lf=just log_file_name
local_print_queue_name— This defines the name of the printcap entry. It is used by
the LPR/LPD utilities to specify which printcap entry is being referenced. Additional printcap
entries can be added as needed for different queue types. Each entry must have a unique
local_print_queue_name and a different spool directory to work properly. When you are ready
to print, use the local_print_queue_name that matches the data type of the file to be printed.
ZebraNet_name— This is the name (alias) of the ZebraNet PSII. This must be the same
name as entered in the /etc/hosts file or your NIS or DNS system. An IP address may also
be used here.
remote_print_queue_name— This entry determines the ZebraNet port where the print
job will be printed and optionally specifies ASCII printing that must end for LF1.
path_to_spool_directory— This is the path to a directory where the print jobs will
be spooled for this queue. You must create a unique spool directory for each printcap entry.
log_file_name— This is the path to a file where error information from the LPD will be
logged.
Example • Your printcap entries might look similar to this:
Ascii_files|form.feed.Queue_on_Port_1:\
:lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUELF1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/myqueuelf1:\
:lf=/usr/spool/myqueuelf1/queue.log
Important • Each printcap entry must have a different spool directory to work properly.

System V Queue Installation
Configuring Operating System V Queue for ZebraNet Printing
This section describes the configuration of the printing system on the UNIX operating system.
For clarity and brevity, the following specific names are used to represent general devices or
concepts.
lj4— The local queue name on the UNIX system to which you want PSII print jobs directed.
ZEBRAPRINTER— The host name or IP address of the remote system that is the PSII device.
For example, to Telnet to the PSII and invoke the PSII configuration utility, you would enter:
Telnet ZEBRAPRINTER
A host name is not required for the PSII — the IP address can be used.
yourqueuename— This is the name of the queue on the ZebraNet and must end with LF1.
Prerequisites
Before you proceed, the following prerequisites must be met:
• The name ZEBRAPRINTER and the IP address assigned to the PSII are in the /etc/hosts
file on the UNIX system.
• The LPD must be running on the UNIX system.
UNIX Configuration
To configure the UNIX machine so users can spool print jobs to the PCL print
queue on the ZebraNet named ZEBRAPRINTER, complete these steps:
1. Log in to the UNIX machine as root.
2. Type:
lpsystem -t bsd ZEBRAPRINTER
3. Type:
lpadmin -p lj4 -s ZEBRAPRINTER!yourqueuename - I any
4. Type:
accept lj4
5. Type:
enable lj4
6. Try printing by typing the command:
lp -d lj4 [filename]

IPP
Important • You must have IPP support on your system.
IPP is an application-level protocol used for distributed printing over the Internet. Using IPP
from any standard IPP client, you can transfer jobs to a printer that is connected to your
ZebraNet PSII device and the Internet.
Important • IPP support is not available on all PSII printers. To be certain you are running
the latest version of firmware, visit our Web site: www.zebra.com
To set up your PSII to support IPP, complete these steps:
1. Open a browser.
2. Enter the PSII IPP URL as follows:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:631/ipp/port1
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = the IP address of the PrintServer II
device
:631 = a fixed value
/ipp = a fixed string designating IPP
/port1 = a fixed value
Example • Your address might look like this:
http:198.60.248.120:631/ipp/port1
Note • Because IPP does not have an official standard, usage depends entirely on the
quality of the IPP client and server.

FTP
FTP
Embedded within the PSII is an FTP server application that processes file transfers from a host
computer to the printer.
If the printer is on a network, label formats can be generated and data can be transferred
without setting up a print queue.
To send information to the printer in a Windows environment, try this
alternative exercise:
1. In a text editor, generate the following ZPL II code:
^XA
^FO100,100
^CF0,55^FDZebra Technologies^FS
^XZ
2. Save the file and name it test.txt.
3. Open the MS-DOS Command Prompt and type:
ftp <IP of PrintServer II>
Example • If the IP address of your PSII device is 12.3.4.123, you would type:
ftp 12.3.4.123.
This opens a session with the FTP server.
Note • The default user name is blank.
4. Type your user name and press Enter.
5. Type:
put test.txt
This transfers test.txtto the printer, and the printer generates a label.
6. To terminate the FTP session, type:
quit

The Web pages returned by Zebra printers are not static. They contain real-time information
about the printer’s present state of operation, including on-line status, error conditions, and all
printing parameters.
Home Page
Note • To access the printer’s Web page, you need the IP address. For instructions on getting
The Home Page is the first Web page that opens. It is a page with a menu of hyperlinks. Each
hyperlink allows you to make modifications to the printer, PSII, and network settings; the
other changeable settings through the Home Page include:
• Network Status, Error, and Warning reports
• ZebraNet PSII configuration

To configure the PSII to send alerts across a TCP/IP Network to ZebraNet Alert,
complete these steps:
Important • If you did not install ZebraNet Alert during the ZebraNet Utilities installation,
1. From the task bar, select Start>Programs>ZebraNet Utilities>ZebraNet View.
2. Select the printer you want.
•
•
If a DHCP server is present, the PSII will already have an IP address.
If no DHCP server is present, you might need to assign the printer an IP address.
3. To assign your printer an IP address, from the menu bar, select Print
Server>Configuration.
4. For PrintServer SNMP Traps, select the SNMP Traps tab.
5. Enter the trap destination and options.
This tells the PSII what TCP/IP address to send the alerts to, and under what
circumstances to send error and log reports. Entering 255.255.255.255 broadcasts the
message to every host on the network with an SNMP program running.

program to be aware of.
Important • Now PSII’s SNMP Alert messages can be set up in WebView. From the
printer’s home page, activate the link to Alert Setup. You can add messages that are sent
to the ZebraNet Alert for Windows by choosing SNMP as a destination.
Sending Email to Your Zebra Printer
To easily transfer instructions and data to your printer from a remote location, PSII allows you
to send email to the printer. This is set up under the link POP3 Email Printing. You need to
provide the address of the network POP3 server, a user name, and a password.
With this option, you can create a text-based email containing ZPL II code and transfer it to
the printer.
Note • Email attachments sent to the printer are not supported.
By using the proper ZPL II commands, files can be saved, loaded, printed, copied, and deleted,
just as if the data were transferred from a serial or parallel port.

Troubleshooting the PSII
Resetting to Factory Defaults
To reset the PSII configuration parameters to the factory defaults, press the Test button and
hold it in while turning the printer power on. Keep the test button pressed until the Status
Indicator light turns green, then release the test button. After approximately 20 seconds, a
configuration label prints automatically.
Status Indicator
A bi-color Status Indicator displays the operational status of the PSII. The following
conditions might occur:
• During normal operation, the LED is solid green for more than 30 seconds. This indicates
all the hardware is functioning properly and it has detected the presence of the network. It
does not mean the PSII has an IP address or is attached to a printer queue.
• If the LED is rapidly flashing green (9 times/sec), the PSII has not detected the presence of
a network cable. To solve the problem:
•
Turn the printer power off. Remove the network cable from the PSII. Plug the
network cable back in until you hear a positive click. Check the other end of the cable
in the same manner. Turn the printer power on. If the PSII still does not detect a cable,
continue.
Important • Cables with a rating higher than CAT-5 have not been tested.
•
•
Verify that the network cable is 10BASE-T and has an RJ-45 connector.
Connect the PSII to a network drop that is a known good network connection. If the
PSII is still unable to detect the network cable, contact Technical Support for
assistance.
• If the LED is slowly flashing green (1 time/sec), the PSII is trying to print a job. If the job
does not print, check the following:
•
Verify that the printer has media and ribbon (if in thermal transfer mode). If the
printer is showing any errors, it is unlikely that the PSII can send data to the printer.
The LED continues to blink until the printer malfunction is resolved or until the
printer is turned off.
•
Flashing red indicates the Power On Self Test (POST) is in progress.
• If the LED is solid red for more than 30 seconds, the PSII has failed the POST. If the
failure is not severe, the PSII attempts to print a configuration label on the printer. A failed
POST can be caused by any of the following:
•
The printer attached to the PSII device is malfunctioning. Turn the printer power off,
wait 10 seconds, then turn the printer back on.
•
If the PSII still fails the POST, continue below. The PSII has a hardware problem that
can be fixed only by replacing or returning the unit. Contact Technical Support for
repair or replacement information.

Troubleshooting the PSII
• If the LED is alternately flashing red and green for longer than 2 minutes, the PSII is in
firmware-download mode. This means it is waiting for new firmware data to be sent
before it continues normal functioning. Perform the following:
•
If the PSII was purposely put into firmware-download mode, finish the download
with the proper update utility. Contact the Zebra Web site at
http://www.zebra.com to download this utility.
•
Contact Technical Support for help recovering this unit.
ZebraNet View Utility Discovery or Configuration Problems
If you are having problems using the ZebraNet View utility to discover or configure the unit,
check the following:
• Verify there is not a router between the workstation running ZebraNet View and the PSII.
Because the PSII does not have an IP address, TCP/IP communication cannot be started
across a router. Run ZebraNet View on the same subnet as the PSII. This is not a limitation
when using ZebraNet View for HP JetAdmin in IPX/SPX Discovery Mode.
• Verify the PSII has a solid green light. If the LED shows a rapidly flashing green light,
check the network cable that is attached.
Unable to Print
• If you are having problems printing, verify that there is communication between the PSII
and the printer. Check the following:
•
•
Print a configuration label by pressing the test button on the PSII. If a configuration
label does not print, verify the printer has media and ribbon (if used) and is not
paused.
If problems persist, contact Technical Support.
Unable to Configure Device
To assign an IP address to a ZebraNet PSII using ZebraNet View, you must be on the same
subnet. If ZebraNet View has Multicast enabled, you might be able to view the ZebraNet PSII
on another subnet, but you will not be able to configure the device.
HP JetAdmin or HP Web JetAdmin
The ZebraNet PSII might be set up and managed using HP JetAdmin or HP Web JetAdmin
products.

FAQs
This table provides frequently asked questions (FAQs) on PSII:
Question
Answer
Are there any differences in
functionality between a ZebraNet
PSII with an EPL-based printer and
with a ZebraLink-enabled ZPL
printer?
Yes.
•
In a ZebraLink environment, with either a Web
browser or with the ZebraNet View Utilities,
there are a variety of Web pages that display a
wealth of status information regarding both the
ZebraLink printer and its ZebraNet PSII.
However, when used with an EPL printer, such
as the LP/TLP 2844, the Web pages for printer
status are not available at this time, only the
Web pages showing status of the PSII are
displayed. The PSII can be easily configured.
However, printer configuration information
regarding the EPL printer is not available via
the ZebraNet Utilities.
•
•
Error conditions: Using ZebraNet Alert, an EPL
printer can be configured to use different IP
addresses to report the following Alert status
conditions: on-line, off-line, paper out.
For EPL: only two destinations can be
configured to report error messages (online,
offline, and paper out) using SMTP email alert –
serial and parallel port destinations are not
supported.
Can the internal ZebraNet PSII
option work on a computer network
that is running both TCP/IP and IPX
protocols simultaneously?
Yes.
The ZebraNet PSII runs all of its available
protocols simultaneously. This means that the
ZebraNet PSII can run on mixed networks such as a
network using Microsoft, UNIX, and Novell
NetWare operating systems.
Will the ZebraNet PSII allow
connectivity to anything other than a
PC network?
Yes.
The ZebraNet PSII allows connectivity to systems
such as IBM’s AS400, provided that it is
configured using TCP/IP. Other network protocols
can be used with third-party adapters that are
converted to 10BASE-T.
Will the ZebraNet PSII option work
on a 100BASE-T per second network?
No.
The ZebraNet PSII option is a 10BASE-T print
server. This means that the data cannot travel any
faster than 10 megabits per second. The ZebraNet
PSII can be deployed on a network that is utilizing
10/100 hubs, but the ZebraNet PSII operates at only
10 megabits per second.

FAQs
Question
Answer
These are the things to check:
What if a print job makes it to the
queue, but never leaves the queue?
The label does not print.
•
Confirm that the printer is turned on and
receiving power.
•
Confirm that the network cable is plugged in
and that you can ping the printer.
If the above bullets do not change the outcome, it is
likely that there was a misconfiguration while
creating the queue. The queue must be recreated
verifying the following:
•
Confirm that you use the print server’s valid
IP address.
•
If you are using a UNIX or AS/400 host,
there is an option for the remote queue
name. There is only one valid response to
use: PORTLF1.
•
•
If Windows does not have LPR installed, the
above required option should be left blank.
See the documentation for other operating
system specific queue creation.
What are the minimum requirements
to network a printer?
•
Cat-5 network cable with 10BASE-T
connectors
•
•
•
PSII
Hub or Switch
If a hub or switch is NOT used, you need a
cross-over cable.
•
Workstation running a TCP stack with print
services installed
What do the activity lights on the PSII
mean?
•
•
Fast blinking (9 times/second) — no link status
Slow blinking (1 time/second) — no IP address,
or the unit is sending data to the parallel port
Blinking red — unit is still in POST
red-green-red-green — unit is in Netware
firmware update mode
•
•
•
•
red-red-green-green — unit is in IP firmware
update mode
Solid red — unit has failed POST. Remove
network cable and restart printer
What is the default User ID and
password for the print server?
•
The User ID is admin and the password is 1234.

What are my network connectivity
options based on when using a PSII?
It depends on your environment, but the print
server accepts print jobs in any of the following
ways:
•
FTP — ZPL/EPL files can be sent to the printer
via a FTP client as standard ASCII files
HTTP — (ZebraLink-enabled printers only)
Using the script option of the print server’s
homepage, you can type ZPL into a specified
location of the Web browser and send it to the
printer
•
•
•
IPP — Using third-party IPP clients, print jobs
can be sent via the internet
LPR/LPD — Sometimes referred to as queue
based printing. LPR/LPD is the standard in
network printing. Most TCP/IP operating
systems are compatible with this option
Raw socket connection — You can connect to
the printer directly via the network, bypassing
everything in-between. This option is
commonly used to integrate ZPL/EPL into
existing programs, such as VB scripts
POP3 — With proper configuration, you can
place ZPL/EPL files into the body of an email,
and it will print. The print server periodically
checks this email box at the specified intervals
and prints the body of the message.

Glossary
10BASE-T A type of Ethernet that uses unshielded twisted pair cable.
arp The standard TCP/IP method for determining the actual network address of a device
based on its IP address.
ASCII A standard for the binary representation of characters.
BOOTP BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is a protocol that lets a network client configure
automatically. It can automatically configure any of the following information: IP address,
gateway, subnet, system name, name server, and more. It automatically assigns the necessary
settings from a pool of pre-determined addresses for a certain duration of time. BOOTP is the
basis for a more advanced network manager protocol, the DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol).
broadcast In a network, a situation when all destinations on the network receive a given
packet.
client A workstation or PC in a client/server environment.
community For SNMP, a relationship between an agent and a set of SNMP managers that
defines security characteristics. The community concept is a local one, defined at the agent.
Each community is given a unique community name.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) DHCP is an alternative to another
network IP management protocol, Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). Like BOOTP, DHCP can
configure an IP address, gateway, subnet, system name, and name server. When speaking
about the PSII, BOOTP, and DHCP configure the same options.
delete bytes This number is used to remove characters from the beginning of every job sent
to the logical printer. The value for delete bytes can range from 0 to 255.

dynamic A dynamic configuration, as the name implies, means that it changes. BOOTP and
DHCP offer time-based leases for the configurations they assign. Their changes depend on the
time-based lease, and how often the printer itself is offline and online again. A dynamic
configuration includes BOOTP or DHCP.
EPL Eltron Programming Language.
Ethernet A widely used local area network system based on the IEEE 802.3 standard.
firmware Software routines that are stored in ROM (Read Only Memory). This is typically
part of a device, such as a printer or PSII.
FTP File Transfer Protocol, a TCP/IP-related protocol for transferring files between devices
on a network.
Flash memory A type of memory that allows read-and-write operations, but permanently
stores data when the power is turned off. Useful for storing firmware because it can be easily
updated by downloading new code.
gateway A device that converts one higher-level network protocol to a different higher level
protocol.
gleaning A temporary, local configuration option. Gleaning lets you add the address of the
device you want to configure to your local workstation’s arp table. This configuration is not
permanent and is valid only from the workstation from which you entered the arp information.
After the information is entered into the workstation’s arp table, the user follows up with a
Telnet session to enter the information permanently. This configuration option is used mostly
by non-Windows workstations that cannot run the ZebraNet View configuration utility.
IP Internet Protocol, one of the main protocols of the TCP/IP protocol suite.
IP address A network address used by the TCP/IP protocol.
IPP Internet Printing Protocol. Allows you to associate a printer with a URL address that is
used for printing over the Internet.
IPX Internetwork Packet Exchange, one of the NetWare protocols.
JetAdmin A Hewlett-Packard printer management program available for NetWare and
TCP/IP.
logical Refers to conceptual rather than physical. For example, a computer might have a
single physical connection to the network (an Ethernet adapter card), but could have logical
connections to several other devices on the network.
MAC Address Media Access Control. Ethernet address that corresponds to the assigned IP
address.
name server A workstation on a TCP/IP network that provides a list of all workstations on
the network.
NetWare A network operating system developed by Novell.

wires, one wire for each bit in a group.
ping A TCP/IP command that determines whether a device is accessible on the network.
POP3 Post Office Protocol, the protocol used to retrieve email from the server.
port A physical connector, such as the parallel port, or a logical connection to a device.
post string A string that is sent at the end of every job going to the logical printer.
Maximum 64 characters long.
pre string A string that is sent at the beginning of each job that goes to the logical printer.
Max 64 characters long.
print server A device in a network that changes a network protocol into a printer protocol.
protocol A method of sending and receiving data between two or more workstations on a
network, and insuring that the data is received without errors.
rarp Reverse Arp, a standard TCP/IP method of determining a device’s IP address based on
its Ethernet address.
raw TCP port A type of TCP port in which data is passed unmodified to the receiving node.
RJ45 A type of modular jack connector similar to a telephone connector with up to eight
wires. Used for 10BASE-T Ethernet connections and for serial port connections.
serial port On a printer or print server, a port that transfers data one bit at a time. Serial ports
usually have either a 25-pin, 9-pin "D", or RJ45 connector.
server A device on a local area network that provides services to client computers on the
network.
SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, a protocol used to send email messages over the
Internet.
SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol, a protocol for monitoring and controlling
devices on a network.
spooling In printing applications, spooling is the transfer of data to a temporary storage area
on disk (the print queue) prior to printing. Spooling allows many jobs to be queued to a single
printer.
static Refers to a static IP address. All information is provided by the network administrator.
subnet mask A TCP/IP method of dividing a network into several smaller subnetworks.
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, the de facto standard for Internet
communications that is widely used on local area networks.
