I am wondering if it is possible to configure this Zebra ZT610 printer to be available both by wired and wireless IP address.
My wired connection has the printer plugged into my Edge IO device, but when I tried to print to that via static IP (but not through the edge device), I was not able to. When I switched the Edge IO printer connection to wireless, the wired IP assignment disappeared from the printer config settings, but I was able to print to it both by static IP at my station, and through the Edge IO.
Hi John,
This is expected with the ZT610. Zebra allows the printer to have both wired and wireless print servers installed, but it only lets one be active at a time.
From the manual (link below):
“Most printers can have wired and wireless print servers installed at the same time. However, only one of the installed print servers can be active at any given time.”
p.45
“Even though all three print servers may be installed, only one is connected to the network and is the active print server.”
p.46
So when the wireless interface becomes active, the Ethernet IP drops, and vice-versa. That matches what you’re seeing with the Edge IO.

Let me know if you want help checking which interface the printer is using.
Thank you for this clue - after reading this I observed there was a little play in the RS232 M-F connection between the cable and the printer, I used a MM adapter and a FF cable to go between and this fixed the issue 100%–no more intermittent connection–plus I can actually print through either Tulip Player or the Zebra utility now, which I couldn’t before. It seems the pins were too short on the serial-to-USB cable I was using:
