Manually Configuring IP Settings

46
If your network does not automatically assign an IP address, or the
Intermec Ready-to-Work indicator is blinking to indicate a network
error, you can use PrintSet (available on the PrinterCompanion CD or
as a download from www.intermec.com) to correct the network
settings.
You can configure the IP settings of your printer by sending
Fingerprint or IPL commands through a serial connection. After you
configure the IP settings, you can disconnect the printer from your PC
and communicate with the printer using Ethernet communications.
To configure the IP settings serially using Fingerprint
1 Connect the printer to your PC using a serial cable. For help, see
"Connecting the Printer to a PC Through the Serial Port" on
page 42.
2 Send the following commands to permanently assign the IP
address, subnet mask, default router, and name server:
setup "network,IP selection,manual"
setup "network,IP address,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
setup "network,netmask,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
setup "network,default router,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
setup "network,nameserver,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
where xxx is a number from 0 to 255.
3 Disconnect the printer from the PC.
4 On your PC, enter the IP address of the printer in the address field
of your web browser (for example http://10.200.27.94) and press
Enter.
The home page of the printer appears.
