FAQs
Can the internal ZebraNet 10/100 PS option work on a computer network that is
running both TCP/IP and IPX protocols simultaneously? Yes. The ZebraNet
10/100 PS runs all of its available protocols simultaneously. This means that the ZebraNet
10/100 PS can run on mixed networks such as a network using Microsoft, and UNIX.
Will the ZebraNet 10/100 PS allow connectivity to anything other than a PC
network? Yes. The ZebraNet 10/100 PS 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 or 100BASE-T.
What if a print job makes it to the queue, but never leaves the queue? The label
does not print. These are the things to check:
• 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 or 100BASE-T connectors
• 10/100 PS
•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 is the default User ID and password for the print server?
• The User ID is admin and the password is 1234.
Important • The ZebraNet 10/100 PS does not support IPX, but it can function on networks
that use IPX protocols.
