CONNECTING TO A NETWORK (ETHERNET AND WI-FI)
All Evolis printers have the benefit of a TCP/IP network connection solution. This functionality is available as standard with Primacy.
Out of the box, the printer comes configured in DHCP mode (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), which means that its IP address is supplied by the network.
In addition to these basic settings, the network administrator has the option of configuring the printer differently in order to comply with the constraints
imposed by the corporate LAN:
• Printer connected in a subnet, in DHCP.
• Printer connected within a subnet with fixed IP address, with WINS resolution.
• Printer connected within a subnet with fixed IP address, without WINS resolution.
The printer may be identified on the network in two ways:
• By its hostname (NETBIOS).
• By its IP address.
In addition, the Ethernet connection wizard will automatically detect all the Evolis printers installed.
The configurable settings are:
• Printer IP address.
• Subnet mask.
• Gateway.
• WINS server.
NOTE
Evolis printers with a TCP/IP network interface have an http server on board.
!
Changing the printer’s basic settings, without prior knowledge of the layout of the LAN in question or without genuine technical knowledge may
result in a malfunction of the printer, and may even extend to a more widespread failure of all or part of the LAN. Please contact your System and
Network Administrator before connecting to or changing the settings for your local area network.
NOTE
For further details, please refer to the “Configuration of Evolis printers on a TCP/IP (Ethernet) LAN” manual.
