Verifying Network Settings
When a static address was assigned or configured for DHCP, after clicking the
Apply
button, disconnect the Administrator from the printer, power-cycle the
printer, and then connect to it once again using the USB, serial, or parallel port.
Once the connection is established, the Printer Ethernet Settings fields will be
populated either with the addresses entered (for static addressing) or with
addresses received from the network (for DHCP configurations.) Make note of the
printer’s IP address.
Print a test label by clicking the
Print Self-Test Label
button at the bottom-right
of the
I/O Settings
tab. The network settings are printed near the end of the test
label.
Once the network settings are made, disconnect the printer from the
USB/serial/parallel port (both physically and in the Administrator). It is possible to
physically relocate the printer and still be able to communicate with it as long as
the printer has a network connection.
To connect to the printer using the Administrator through the network, go to the
I/O Settings
tab and select the
Network Printer
method of connection. Type the
IP address assigned or received from the network, and click the
Connect
button.
Once connected, the Administrator functions as it did with a local connection.
