Connecting label printer via Ethernet interface

To connect the label printer to a network jack, you will require a patch cable with an RJ45 plug for
10 Base T or 100 Base T. For direct connection of the printer to the Ethernet card of a local computer,
you will need an appropriate crossover cable.
A shielded cable must be used to connect the printer to the network.
1. Connect computer and label printer with a suitable cable.
2. Make basic settings for operation of the Ethernet interface (see "4.1.4" on Page 25).
3. Call up the printer website (see "4.2.1" on Page 28).
4. Open the "Setup" tab on the printer website.
5. Set the parameters described in Table 14 on Page 32 in the path
Setup > Interfaces > Ethernet.
6. Click Set on the "Setup" tab.
7. Enter PIN and click Confirm (see "4.1.6" on Page 27).
8. Set up print service if necessary (see "2.2.1" on Page 16).
9. Adjust Windows printer setting (see "2.2.2" on Page 16).
Do not change the settings of the "IP" and "Gateway" on the printer website, as otherwise the connec-
tion to the printer may be lost.
