Zebra external print servers

Bryan:

We have several ancient Zebra 105-series printers, and they are
workhorses. Questions about the external print servers. How are they
connected to your Series i? What make(s) and model(s) of servers?

I've visited the Zebra plant in Vernon Hills, and some of their folks have
visited our plant. Their "modular" approach to manufacturing is very
interesting.

Good question.

I like the external print servers because they can stay in location
even if the printer itself is changed Let's say the actual printer
is not working on assembly line A. You remove the printer from
assembly line A and replace it with a similar one, leaving the print
server in location. Thus, no programs or device descriptions have
to be changed. I even showed our production people how to replace a
printer if I'm not here.

I once ordered ten Zebra printers with internal print servers and at
the last minute decided to change the order to external print
servers. The printers were already on a truck and the reseller got
the delivery stopped and the ordered was changed per my request.
This was one of the best decisions I ever made in my career here
because of the impact it has on production printing when there are

issues.

I do have one Zebra printer that uses a Zebra wireless print server
and it prints T.L. Ashford labels just like a wired printer. What
kind of wireless print server do you plan on using?
