•
By default, the Printer is configured for dynamic IP
address assignment. That is, it will try to get its IP
address and other settings from your network. If it is
given valid network settings, it will use them.
OR
•
You can choose to configure the Printer, using a static
IP address and network settings. (Note: This can be
entered using the Network web page of the Printer or
the Fargo IP Tracer program.)
You can use the web pages if you know the current IP
address. See the Accessing the Home page
OR
You can use Fargo IP-Tracer which allows you to find
Fargo-compatible Printers and specify their addresses.
The HDP5000 also allows you to save the current network
settings as static settings via the LCD menu (Options:
Menu: Network Settings: Save Addresses).
(Note: You can save static addresses. However, they are
not used until you reconfigure the Printer to use those
static addresses and reboot the Printer.)
