    G E T T I N G S T A R T E D The Monarch 7411 Print Server lets you communicate with the Monarch 9825 printer on a wired Ethernet 802.3 network, or on an 802.11b or 802.11g wireless network. 802.11b/g refers to 802.11b and 802.11g in this manual.

  • Page 8: System Requirements

    If you are using TCP/IP (recommended for Windows Networks) and are not connected to a server that automatically assigns your IP address, you need to set the printer in Static mode and assign a unique IP Address for the wireless print server (for example: 192.168.1.14) and a subnet mask.

  • Page 9: Checking The Print Server Hardware

    The print server comes preinstalled and tested in your printer. Do not plug any cables into the parallel port when using the print server. A printer with this print server cannot use the parallel port. However, the serial port is still active.
