Configuration Using IP Discovery (DHCP, BootP, and RARP)
Once the Ethernet Print Sever has been installed and connected, p
lug in the power cord and Ethernet cable then turn the
printer’s power switch ‘On’.
DHCP, BootP, and RARP are server services that provide a method for assigning and maintaining IP addresses. The Print
Server obtains IP information from this service.
The factory default has IP Discovery enabled. The Print Server makes IP requests at power-up. If using this method of
discovery, after the connection is established print a Configuration Label (see below) from the printer to obtain the IP
Address and then use it to install your printer port and driver to complete your setup.
Note: Depending upon your server, you may have to wait a minute or two for the assigned IP Address to appear on
the Configuration Label.
To print a configuration label:
With the printer on, loaded with media (at
least 4 inches wide) and ribbon (if printing
with thermal transfer media). Press the
button once, then use the
FWD
button scroll to
‘PRINT CONFIGURATION’
and press the button again to print.
