Newest Wireless Print Server Upgrades Security, Convenience
 

 
It's never been this easy to have wireless printing this secure. With Zebra's new ZebraNet® Plus Internal Wireless print server, you can have your Zebra 105SL™, S4M™, ZM400™/ZM600™ or Xi™ series printer running on a wireless 802.11b/g network soon after taking it out of the box.
 
That's because, with an integrated print server radio that's completely internal, you needn't take time to buy and install a separate wireless radio card. Plus, this feature protects the radio card from theft while maintaining maximum wireless reception.
 
Like previous-generation Zebra print servers, the new ZebraNet Internal Wireless Plus print server includes many flexible connectivity and reporting features to simplify printer monitoring and management. Plus, in addition to the internal radio, it offers new enhancements such as:

• Upgraded support for today's advanced securities.
• Compatibility with Zebra's wireless mobile printers, so it's easy to update security and other configurations across all your wireless printers.
• Tethered antenna option -- designed to optimize wireless reception and add flexibility in printer placement. (Magnetic mount available later this year.)

DoD Supplier Takes Integrated Approach to Satisfy UID and RFID Labeling Needs
