Select a Communication Interface

The way that you connect your printer to a data source depends on the communication options
installed in the printer.

Optional Print Servers:

• ZebraNet Wireless Print Server. This option is available for 105SL printers with serial

number greater than 6400356. For more information on this option, see the ZebraNet
Wireless Print Server User Guide
(Zebra part number 13422L-001).

• ZebraNet 10/100 Print Server (10/100 PS). For more information on 10/100 PS, see the

ZebraNet 10/100 Print Server User and Reference Guide (Zebra part number
47619L-001).

• ZebraNet PrintServer II (PSII). For more information on PSII, see the PrintServer II User

and Reference Guide (Zebra part number 45537L).

Standard interfaces: the RS-232 DB-9 serial data port and the IEEE 1284 compliant
bidirectional parallel port. For further information, see

Data Ports on page 59

.

Serial Port Depending on the date of manufacture, your Zebra 105SL printer may be
equipped with either a DB-25 serial connector or a DB-9 serial connector.

Communicating using a serial data port (see

Figure 7

for a DB-25 serial interface connector

and

Figure 8

for a DB-9 serial interface connector) requires choosing the baud rate, number of

data bits, stop bits, parity, and handshake (default settings are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
no parity, and

XON/XOFF

). Parity only applies to data transmitted by the printer since the

parity of received data is ignored. See

Serial Data Port on page 60

to configure the

communication parameters. The values selected must be the same as those used by the host
equipment connected to the printer.

Note •

If you have the DB-9 serial interface connector, RS-422 and RS-485 serial data ports

are available through an adapter. Contact your Zebra distributor for details.
