5.1 Introduction
The Ethernet option for the FARGO HDP6600 High Definition Card Printer/Encoder includes the Ethernet port and the
internal printer server.
Printer Management: The printer driver provides bi-directional status information so you can monitor and manage the
printer just as you would any other networked printer.
Compatibility: The Ethernet option provides compatibility with TCP/IP and 802.3 Ethernet protocols with an IEEE 802.3
10/100 Base-T Ethernet female RJ45 connector.
Application: The Ethernet Option applies to the card printer/encoder. With the Ethernet option properly installed and
configured, these printers are able to print in the same manner as a printer directly connected to the PC using a USB
interface.
Any reference to a specific printer name is for demo purposes only. Your printer name varies according to what you are
using.

Requirement
An IEEE 802.3 10/100 Base-T Ethernet network is required.
A printer with the Ethernet option installed is required.
Since TCP/IP is used for the network communication, the printer must be configured with an IP address and a
subnet mask (before it can be seen on the network).
An additional network setting for the default gateway can also be configured, which allows communication
across the subnets.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is also supported for auto configuration.
