Chapter 6: Network Printing
The screen should look like this:
Using Automatic Address Assignment
Automatic address assignment, known as DHCP configuration, is only possible if the
network being used supports it. If the network does support DHCP, put the C Series
printer into DHCP mode by selecting the DHCP checkbox under the address fields in the
Ethernet Settings area. It is not necessary to enter any addresses in the fields above.
In addition to the DHCP check box, select the LPD and RTEL check boxes. Type 9100 in
the RTEL Port Number field and type 32768 in the Ethernet Text Buffer Size field.
For the printer to receive its address from the network, it must be connected to the
network when it is turned on. If the printer is not connected to the network when set to
DHCP mode, the mode setting will take effect, but the printer will not actually receive a
new address until it is connected to the network and restarted.
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 network settings are made, disconnect printer from the USB/serial/parallel port
(both physically and in 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 connection.
