Zebra ZebraNet 10/100 Internal Print Server with RJ-45 Wired Ethernet Interface and 100 Mbit/s Data Transfer Rate

The Zebra ZebraNet 10/100 Internal Print Server with RJ-45 Wired Ethernet Interface is an internal wired network solution designed to integrate compatible Zebra printers directly into local area networks. By utilizing existing network infrastructure, this print server significantly improves data transmission speeds and enhances the operational capabilities of high-performance bar code printing setups. It provides reliable connectivity and supports environments requiring stable wired network integration.

Advantages

This internal print server allows seamless connection of industrial printers to standard Ethernet networks without requiring external adapter boxes or extra power supplies. It supports automatic switching between 10Base-T and 100Base-TX network speeds, ensuring optimal performance across different network infrastructures. By facilitating direct network printing, it streamlines document and label generation workflows across multiple users and workstations.

Suitable for

• Integrating industrial Zebra printers into existing office or warehouse Ethernet networks
• High-volume label and barcode printing environments requiring reliable wired network connections
• Upgrading legacy printing setups with modern 10/100 Mbit/s network interfaces

When it may not be suitable

This device is not designed for wireless network environments, as it strictly requires a wired Ethernet connection via an RJ-45 cable. It is also incompatible with printer models outside of the specified Zebra series and cannot be used as a standalone print server for non-Zebra printing equipment.

Key specifications

• Internal wired print server module
• RJ-45 wired Ethernet interface
• 100 Mbit/s maximum data transfer rate
• Automatic switching between 10Base-T and 100Base-TX
• Compatible with ZM400, ZM600, RZ400, RZ600, Xi4, 105SLPlus, and ZE500 series printers

How to use

Installation of the internal print server requires technical integration directly into the compatible Zebra printer chassis following the manufacturer hardware guidelines. Once physically installed, connect a standard network cable from the RJ-45 port on the printer to your network switch, router, or wall outlet. Configure the network settings such as IP address and subnet mask through the printer control panel or management software to establish communication with your network.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your specific printer model belongs to the compatible Zebra series such as ZM400, Xi4, or ZE500
• Ensure that a wired Ethernet infrastructure with an available RJ-45 network drop is accessible near the printer location
• Confirm whether your network environment supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet speeds

Usage recommendations: Regularly update the printer and print server firmware to maintain optimal network security and performance stability within your local infrastructure.
