All HDPii models come with Ethernet installed as standard
equipment.
The Windows 7 (32 & 64 bit), Windows XP, Server
Server 2008 R2 (32 & 64 bit), Vista 32 & 64 bit operating
systems work with your Ethernet Printer.
You can connect from the RJ45 network connection on the back
of your Printer to an available connection on your network (not
directly to your PC). You can use a good CAT-5 or better cable
to make this connection.
If you know the IP address of your Printer, you can see the
MAC address on the home web page of the Print Server.

The Fargo IP-Tracer software tool on the driver CD can be used
to find the MAC address of the Printer. (Note: This can be
installed and used to locate all the Fargo compatible Printers on
your network.)
