2-6 Connecting to a Network (Ethernet and Wi-Fi)
All ID Maker printers can be fitted with a TCP/IP network connection. Out of the box, the printer comes configured in DHCP mode (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol), which means that its IP address is supplied by the network. In addition to these basic settings, the network administrator has the
option of configuring the printer differently in order to comply with the constraints imposed by the corporate LAN:
• Printer connected in a subnet, in DHCP mode
• Printer connected to a subnet in fixed IP address mode, with WINS resolution
• Printer connected to a subnet in fixed IP address mode, without WINS resolution
The printer may be identified on the network in two ways:
• By its Hostname (NETBIOS)
• By its IP address.
In addition, the Ethernet connection wizard will automatically detect all installed ID Maker printers.
The user-definable settings are:
• IP address of the printer
• Subnetwork mask
• Gateway
• WINS server
ID Maker printers fitted with a TCP/IP network interface have an on-board http server.
Changing the printer's basic settings, without prior knowledge of the layout of the LAN in question
or without genuine technical knowledge may result in a malfunction of the printer, and may even
extend to a more widespread failure of all or part of the LAN. Contact your System and Network
Administrator before connecting to or changing the settings for your local area network.
For further details, refer to the 'Configuration of ID Maker printers on a TCP/ IP (Ethernet) LAN' manual.
