Configuring Your P-touch Label Printer for a Network
21
IP Addresses, Subnet Masks and Gateways
21
To use the P-touch Label Printer in a networked TCP/IP environment, you must configure its IP address and
subnet mask. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host
computers. If it is not, you must correctly configure the subnet mask and the gateway address.
IP address
21
An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each device connected to a network. An IP address
consists of four numbers separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 254.
For example in a small network, you would normally change the final number:
•
192.168.1.1
•
192.168.1.2
•
192.168.1.3
How the IP address is assigned to your print server:
21
If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server on your network, the print server will automatically obtain its IP
address from that server.
Note
On smaller networks, the DHCP server may also be the router.
If you do not have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server, the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will
automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.254.254. The subnet mask is
automatically set to 255.255.0.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0.
By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled. To disable the APIPA protocol, use BRAdmin Light or Web Based
Management (web browser).
