Installing to Ethernet

Important – IT networks can be diverse and complex, therefore it is recommended that this procedure is carried out
company's IT
Note – the printer's default IP address mode is 'Dynamic' (DHCP), therefore when first connected to the network it will request an
IP address from the network's DHCP server and will use the address provided by the server. If your network cannot
provide a dynamic address, the printer will automatically revert to a default static address of :-
IP Address
Subnet mask
Default Gateway
(If these static address settings do not suit your network's requirements, they can be changed by using the Magicard
Support Utility).
1.
Ensure that the printer is connected to a network connector and then switch it on.
2.
Watch the printer's display panel carefully - as the printer initialises it will detect the network connection and will display its IP
address (e.g. 192.168.102.110) - make a note of the IP address displayed by the printer.
