The printer is a terminal device (not a host or hub) when using a USB interface. You can refer 
to the USB Specification for details regarding this interface.

Scanners, scales or other data input (terminal) devices must use the serial port (not the USB 
port) to send data to the printer.

The Windows operating system default settings for the serial port communication closely 
match the printer’s defaults settings with one exception; the data Flow Control settings. The 
Windows default data Flow Control setting is NONE. The printer requires data Flow Control 
set to Hardware. 

This printer option has a variety of methods and utilities to assist with printer connection and 
configuration of networked Zebra printers on a LAN (local area network) or WAN (wide area 
network). The Zebra Setup Utility configuration wizards support creating a connection to the 
printer on a shared network with Windows based systems by using the printer’s IP address. 
The printer includes internal Web pages to provide easy access to printer and network 
configuration. The web pages are accessible via the printers IP address using any web browser. 
The free version of ZebraNet™ Bridge software allows you to centrally deploy, manage, and 
monitor your Zebra® printers with automatic Zebra® printer discovery up to 3 printers from a 
single PC screen anywhere on your global network. ZebraNet™ Bridge Enterprise is available 
for purchase to manage larger numbers of Zebra® printers.
