Useful tools

When you set up a CP60 Card Printer with Built-in Ethernet feature, you might use several tools. These tools are
part of the network operating system and a computer operating system; they are not provided with the printer.
• Network configuration utility
When the printer is set up on the network where cards are produced, network support personnel use one or
more utilities to view and monitor the network. The CP60 printer was tested with HP® Web Jetadmin® on
Windows XP (service pack 2).
• Command prompt
If you are not using the CP Driver, you can use a command prompt to type commands and use utilities to set
up the printer. You might also find a command prompt helpful for network testing.
• Ping
Ping is a network utility that obtains a response from a device connected to the network. It is a quick way to
query an IP address to verify that it is functioning on the network. The printer responds to Ping.
If the printer includes the Open Card option and you plan to send Open Card data, you might use several
additional tools, including the following:
• Telnet
Most operating systems include a telnet utility. The CP60 printer with the Open Card option provides Card
Layout menus through a telnet interface.
