How do you get the IP address from a zebra printer or where is the button on the back located

If you are unable to change the IP address of your Zebra LP 2844-Z using the ^default command or Zebra Utilities, and updating the BIOS did not help either, you may need to try a factory reset of the printer.
To do this, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the printer.
2. Press and hold the feed button on the front of the printer.
3. While holding the feed button, turn on the printer.
4. Wait for the status light to turn solid red, and then release the feed button.
5. The status light will blink green a few times, and then turn solid green.
6. Press and release the feed button once. The status light will blink red a few times, and then turn solid amber.
7. Press and release the feed button again. The status light will blink green a few times, and then turn solid green.

The printer should now be reset to its factory settings, including the default IP address of 192.168.168.168. You should now be able to access the printer through this IP address and change the settings as needed.

i just want to set the gk420t into factory default the problem is the printer got ip address and it will reset the ip address,so tell me if the ip address is resetted how would i put it back to the printer

Turn the printer off.
Disconnect the power-cord.
Reconnect the power-cord.
Turn the printer on.
It should automatically reconfigure itself, and get a "new" IP-address.
Then, you'll have to "delete" that "networked-printer" from your computer,
and then reinstall that "networked-printer", so that your computer can "talk"
to the printer at its "new" IP-address.

To enter Setup Mode, press SETUP/EXIT.

Press (+) or (-) until you get to IP RESOLUTION and then press NEXT/SAVE

Press the (+) or (-) key to display Dynamic or Permanent.

Select Permanent to give set it up for Static.

Go back to the previous menu and go into IP ADDRESS.

Press the (-) key to move the next digital position.
Press the (+) key to increase the value of the digit.

**The IP will not take if it is set to Dynamic**


To leave Setup Mode, press SETUP/EXIT.

"SAVE CHANGES" will display.

Select PERMANENT by using the (+) and (-) keys and then hit NEXT/SAVE.

You should now have the IP you put in configured on the printer.

When received or when a reset is performed, the default IP address is: 10.3.4.102. The best way to confirm this is to force the printing of a configuration label. Look at the configuration label that is printed. That will contain the "current" IP assigned to the printer. You can download the manuals for this from the Zebra web site using the model number to get to the printer specific page. Choose the download tab.

If you can not see it in the LCD menu on the front panel, you can find it by printing the IP info on a label. There is a reset button near the Ethernet jack that will let you reset the print server settings or allow you to print a config label. Load up some media, power the printer on. Once the printer is fully booted, use a paper clip or the like to press the button once. A label will print that details the IP settings. Once you have the IP settings, you can log into the printers web interface by typing the IP address in your browsers URL bar. Do get a copy of the manual.

There is a tiny button on the print server back plane that you can press with a paper clip. This will print out a label with your IP address information. Get the IP address (hope that the printer is set for DHCP) and enter this into a web browser. This will take you to a web interface that will let you make configuration changes to the print server and printer. If the printer is set to static IP, change the IP address of your PC to be in the same subnet as the printer and then fire up the browser.
The user name for the printer is ADMIN and the password is 1234 by default. You can also download ZebraNet Bridge from Zebra's web site. This application will find your printer on the network and let you install fonts, upgrade firmware, change settings, etc.

go to the configuration on the printer. Scroll through until you reach the network settings. You can display or print the results, which will show the MAC address. Also, if you have a PC on the same network, and you know the IP of the printer, you can look at your ARP tables and find the MAC associated with the IP. ARP -a at the dos prompt

I work for zebra. you should user zebra net bridge, its the current network tool and the best to use
