PrintServer II User and Reference Guide

Setting up a ZebraNet Connect IP

ZebraNet Connect 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, they are sent directly to 
PSII and are not routed through a network server, resulting in a reduction of network 
traffic. 

If you have printing problems while using the 

PSII

 Connect 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.

If you are using the Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 operating system, use the 
following procedure to set up a printer port for the 

PSII

.

1. From the task bar, select 

Start>Settings>Printers

.

2. Select the Windows printer to use when printing with the 

PSII

.

3. From the menu bar, select 

File>Properties

.

4. To add a 

PSII

 Connect port, in the Ports tab select Add Port.

5. From the list of Available Printer Ports, select ZebraNet Connect Monitor as the 

type of port to add, and click New Port.

You enter into the Add ZebraNet Connect Port screen where there is a list of all 

PSII

 devices available on the local subnet.

Note • The DHCP feature of ZebraNet Connect can re-discover a PrintServer on the 
local subnet, even when its IP address might be changing (e.g. when using DHCP 
for IP address resolution). The PrintServer 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 re-discovered if the IP address changes.

Note • If 

PSII

 Connect is not listed, verify the ZebraNet Connect software has been 

properly installed.
