Setting Up Ethernet Communications

Using either the integrated Ethernet or the optional 802.11 wireless
network interface provides features such as security, FTP server, web
server, and Alert handling.
Use the Ethernet port to set up the PD41 or PD42 as a network
printer. The printer is set to automatically retrieve an IP number from
the network (DHCP) once it is turned on. You can use the network
connection either with LabelShop or the Intermec InterDriver. You
can also use it to directly send commands to the printer through a
terminal connection (Telnet), or you can send instructions via FTP.
For terminal connections, it utilizes the Raw TCP protocol through
port 9100.
To connect the printer to your Ethernet network
1 Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port in the rear of the
printer and connect the other end to your network.
2 Turn the printer on. Wait for the blue Ready-to-Work LED to stop
blinking, and for the message "IP configuration error" to
disappear from the screen.
3 Enter Information mode by pressing ( ) to obtain the IP address
of your printer.
Information mode cycles through the interfaces installed on the
printer in five-second intervals and displays them on the screen.
The IP address is displayed under net1: in Fingerprint and net in
IPL.
4 On your PC, enter the IP address of the printer in the address field
of your web browser (for example http://10.200.27.94) and press
Enter.
