First, make sure the printer has power. Check the printer
connection to your computer. Verify the printer has both media
and ribbon.
If the printer appears to be functioning, test the connection
between the printer and the Adapter by pushing the Test button
on the back of the printer for no more than 5 seconds.
Note: If a test label does not print, the printer may still be able to
print through the Adapter. Set up the printer as you normally
would and try printing from an application.
If the test label does not print, try resetting the Adapter to factory
defaults by pressing and holding the recessed Test button for
more than 5 seconds.
If you are using TCP/IP, make sure that your computer and the
Adapter are on the same IP segment or can reach each other with
a PING command from the host.
The IP address you assign to the Adapter must be on the same
logical network as your host computers (for example, if your
computer has an IP address of 192.189.207.3, the Adapter
should have an IP address of 192.189.207.n where n is an integer
between 1 and 254), or you must properly configure your router
address to work with the Adapter.
As long as your Adapter is set to Auto or DHCP for obtaining an
IP address, the Adapter's IP address can change. Either configure
your DHCP server to give the Adapter a permanent address lease
or configure the Adapter to be on a static address outside the
scope of DHCP addresses. For more help configuring static IP
addresses, consult your network administrator.
This section explains how to:
• reboot the Adapter.
• set the Adapter to factory defaults.
• print a test label.
