Assigning an IP Address for Network Access
All devices on an Ethernet network (LAN and WLAN) require a network IP (Internet Protocol) address. The
printer’s IP address is needed to access the printer for printing and printer configuration. The five different
ways to assign an IP address are:
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Connection Protocol) - Default setting
• Zebra Setup Utilities (includes the ZebraDesigner Windows printer driver)
• Telnet
• Mobile Apps
• ZebraNet Bridge
DHCP for
Personal Networks
The printer by default is set to operate on an Ethernet LAN or Wi-Fi network with DHCP. This setting is
intended primarily for personal networks. The network automatically provides a new network IP address
each time the printer is turned on. The Windows printer driver uses a Static IP address to connect to the
printer. The IP address set in the printer driver will need to be changed to access the printer if its assigned
IP address has changed after the printer’s initial installation.
Managed Networks
Using the printer in a structured network (LAN or Wi-Fi) requires a network administrator to assign the
printer a Static IP address and other settings needed to operate on the network properly.
Print Server - Default User ID and Password
There are some features that require the default User ID and/or default password to access the printer’s
print server or if you have the Wi-Fi option in the printer. The Factory Default Values are shown below:
• User ID:
admin
