Whether a wired or wireless connection is intended, it is recommend to establish a wired connection to the

printer first. This will allow access to the printers internal web pages to configure the settings necessary for a

typical wireless connection. If a wired connection is not or can not be achieved all connection parameters can

also be set using the NETira CT configuration utility, see section 3.5.

The printer makes IP requests at power-up, so before making a network connection to the printer consider

how your IP addressing needs to be assigned. The IP addressing of the printer can be configured in one of two

ways: Using a static IP Address or Using IP Discovery (DHCP, BootP, or RARP). At factory default settings

IP DISCOVERY is ENABLED (DHCP).

1. With Printer Off, connect the network cable then turn on Printer.

2. The printer will now search for a DHCP server. Allow up to 90 seconds for the printer to retrieve an IP

address.

3. At this point it is recommended to print a Network Report.

This Network Report is generated by the printer and lists

important default information such as the IP and MAC

Addresses as well as SSID for wireless equipped cards. To

print the ‘Network Report’:

Press the

button

to highlight the ‘TEST’ menu branch

and then press the

button.

Using the button, scroll to Network Report, and then
press the

button.

When prompted choose either “View” (to view the

information on the display) or “Print” (to print the

information).

4. Verify the printer has obtained a valid IP address for your

network. If a valid IP address was not obtained or you wish

to use a different static address this can be set via the

printer’s front panel.

The information on this label will vary depending
on your configuration and firmware version.

Enter the printer’s menu and navigate to the Communications>Network/Bluetooth>Wired Ethernet

menu branch.

Set the “IP Discovery” menu item to “Use Static Addresses”.

Set the “IP Address” menu item to desired value, continue the same procedure with “Subnet

Mask” and “Default Gateway” menu items if necessary. Exit the printers menu. Cycle power to the

printer, upon start-up the printer will connect to the network using the new parameters you

provided.

Once the previous steps have been successfully completed you may now use the IP Address to:

If your printer is equipped with wireless capabilities, browse to the printer’s internal web pages for

wireless/advanced configuration. See section B.2, Wireless Setup.

-or-

Install a printer driver, and start printing from your Windows applications. See section B.3,

Installing the Printer Driver.
