3.4.3 Configuring the printer to use Ethernet
Before the printer uses the Ethernet port, the printer must also be configured to use the
ethernet port by using the ^D108 command. See the ^D108 command under Chapter 5 for
additional information.
Modes 1 (^A1^D108) sets the XPORT/USB Autodetect while modes 5 (Microcom Ethernet
Option) and 6 (3 Port Auto Select) may be used to configure the printer for Microcom
Ethernet Option.
Turn the printer ON with the print button pressed and held in. Release the button after the
printer status light turns a solid Green. This is the diagnostics mode that may be used to
connect to the printer to set the appropriate ^D108 command setting.
Using a Terminal Program, like MCT connect to the active printer port (typically Serial or
USB) and send the appropriate ^D108 command to the printer.
The MCT screen capture below shows a printer connected to the USB port with the ^D29
being issued.
