Managing the LabelWriter Print Server

Changing the TCP/IP Configuration

You can configure the print server to obtain an IP address automatically or assign a static IP address
that you choose.

If you are using the print server on a small office or home network, we recommend that you
configure the server to use a static IP address. This will ensure that the computers connected to
your network will always be able to locate the print server.

By default, the static IP address for the print server is 192.168.1.100. You only need to change the
last three numbers. When assigning a static IP address, check your router to be sure that the IP
address you choose is not already in use. Refer to your router documentation for information on
how to do this. A good practice when adding a print server or other shared network device to a
network is to start with a number toward the top of the range, for example 192.168.1.250, and work
down from there.
