Connecting Label Printer to Computer

2.1.1  Print Services Raw-IP and LPR/LPD in MS Windows

 

Install a standard TCP/IP port as additional port for printing.

 

During installation of the new port choose between "Raw" and "LPR"

 

Raw-IP: Enter the same port address in the printer which you have selected during installation.

 

LPD: "lp" (line printer) must be entered as the name of the printer on the computer (queue name). 

2.1.2  Adjusting Windows Printer Setting

When the printer driver valid for your Windows version is installed on your computer, Windows standard applications 

can be used to edit the label contents and to start the print jobs. To use the Raw-IP or LPR/LPD print services, the 

Windows printer settings must be adjusted:
1.  Open the folder containing the printers via Start > Settings > Printers.
2.  Right-click the icon of the label printer. 

A pop-up menu appears.

3.  Select "Properties" in the pop-up menu.
4.  Open the "Details" or "Connections" tab. 

This tab contains, among other things, the connections which were also set up when the print services were 

installed. The names of these connections depend on the installation tool used.

5.  Select the Raw-IP or LPR connection.
6.  Click 

OK

.
