FAQs
This table provides frequently asked questions (FAQs) on PSII:
Question Answer
Are there any differences in
functionality between a ZebraNet
PSII with an EPL-based printer and
with a ZebraLink-enabled ZPL
printer?
Yes.
• In a ZebraLink environment, with either a Web
browser or with the ZebraNet View Utilities,
there are a variety of Web pages that display a
wealth of status information regarding both the
ZebraLink printer and its ZebraNet
PSII.
However, when used with an EPL printer, such
as the LP/TLP 2844, the Web pages for printer
status are not available at this time, only the
Web pages showing status of the
PSII are
displayed. The
PSII can be easily configured.
However, printer configuration information
regarding the EPL printer is not available via
the ZebraNet Utilities.
• Error conditions: Using ZebraNet Alert, an EPL
printer can be configured to use different IP
addresses to report the following Alert status
conditions: on-line, off-line, paper out.
• For EPL: only two destinations can be
configured to report error messages (online,
offline, and paper out) using SMTP email alert –
serial and parallel port destinations are not
supported.
Can the internal ZebraNet PSII
option work on a computer network
that is running both TCP/IP and IPX
protocols simultaneously?
Yes.
The ZebraNet
PSII runs all of its available
protocols simultaneously. This means that the
ZebraNet
PSII can run on mixed networks such as a
network using Microsoft, UNIX, and Novell
NetWare operating systems.
Will the ZebraNet PSII allow
connectivity to anything other than a
PC network?
Yes.
The ZebraNet
PSII 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.
Will the ZebraNet PSII option work
on a 100BASE-T per second network?
No.
The ZebraNet
PSII option is a 10BASE-T print
server. This means that the data cannot travel any
faster than 10 megabits per second. The ZebraNet
PSII can be deployed on a network that is utilizing
10/100 hubs, but the ZebraNet
PSII operates at only
10 megabits per second.
