Procedure for Connecting the Product to a Computer
The product supports various interfaces and can be connected to a computer in an optimum way for
your environment. When you have installed the printer driver to the computer, the data created with
the computer (documents and illustrations) can be printed to a label through easy operations.
Also, you can print by sending a command directly to the product.
The product can be connected to a computer in the following way.
1.
Connecting Interfaces
2. Configuring the Interface Settings
Set the product's interface from the Settings menu, which can be accessed from the product's
display or the web configuration page.
Also, the settings can be done from the All-In-One Tool.
◦ When you connect them with a LAN or wireless LAN interfaces, configure the communication
conditions, such as the IP address of the product.
◦ When you connect them with other interfaces, configure the communication conditions when
needed to adapt to the computer to which you are connecting.
◦ To use the printer driver, the communication protocol must be set to Status4. (The initial value
for the communication protocol for the product's interfaces is Status4.)
3. Installing the Printer Driver (Unnecessary when using commands)
• Use barcode fonts to create a barcode. Sometimes the barcode may not be read by a
scanner if it is created with tools for creating images (such as BMP) and printed from
this product. Because the tools create the barcode as an image only, the barcode may
not be the correct data. Therefore, if the barcode cannot be read by a scanner, it is
not a failure of the product or printer driver. Note that reading of the barcode is not
guaranteed if it is created by such tools.
• The head check is just for a reference to check a broken element of the print head, and
it is not a function to guarantee barcode readability. A regular barcode reader test is
required.
