Verifying Network Settings

When a static address was assigned or configured for DHCP, after clicking the Apply
button, disconnect the Administrator from the printer, power-cycle the printer, and then
connect to it once again using the USB, serial, or parallel port. Once the connection is
established, the Printer Ethernet Settings fields will be populated either with the
addresses entered (for static addressing) or with addresses received from the network (for
DHCP configurations.) Make note of the printer's IP address.
Print a test label by clicking the Print Self-Test Label button at the bottom-right of the
I/O Settings tab. The network settings are printed near the end of the test label.
Once the network settings are made, disconnect the printer from the USB/serial/parallel
port (both physically and in the Administrator). It is possible to physically relocate the
printer and still be able to communicate with it as long as the printer has a network con-
nection.
To connect to the printer using the Administrator through the network, go to the I/O Set-
tings tab and select the Network Printer method of connection. Type the IP address
assigned or received from the network, and click the Connect button. Once connected,
the Administrator functions as it did with a local connection.
