Overview

By default the ZebraNet Print Server is configured to use DHCP to acquire an IP address. If one wishes to assign the address manually you can use the ZebraNet Bridge Utility to accomplish this task.

  • Directed Broadcast
  • Multi cast
  • IP address

For full details on Discovery and using ZebraNet Bridge, view the ZebraNet Bridge User Guide and review the section "Search Group Window and Discover" Read More>>

Note: You can create your own search by creating a "New Search" within the Search Groups.  Simply "Right Mouse Click" on Searches and select "New Search".

You may then specify an IP Range or Subnet Range. 

By default the ZebraNet Print Servers look for an address from a DHCP server.  If one does not respond, you will see a printer listed with the IP address of 0.0.0.0.  To change the IP address, right click on the printer and select Set IP Address.

After the IP address is set you can drag or copy/past the printer to the desired group in the Group Management Window to manage the printer and configure the other TCP/IP settings.
