2.8 Network Settings

Please use Birch network setting software NetFinder to set the IP address for Birch Ethernet interface

network printers, which can be found in the CD or downloaded from www.birch.com.tw

Caution: The network printing function needs the operation system of Windows2000 or above.

2.8.1 Connecting Printer

Power on the printer, connect with the Ethernet cable which has been connected to LAN, and look into

the information of Ethernet LED indicator to ensure the printer has entered into the normal connection.

1) Correlative description for IP address settings

In order to search and set printer’s IP address conveniently for the first time, the factory default

Page 20

BP-007 User’s Manual

- 15 -

setting is DHCP mode which assigns IP address dynamically. If there is no DHCP server in the

connected LAN and printer is set to DHCP mode as well, then it will use the internal pre-set address

(IP: 10.0.0.1, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0) automatically.

It is suggested that printer’s IP set to static in actual usage, which can cut down the time when

initializing the Ethernet interface as the printer is turned on and prevent IP conflicts (The dynamic

address used in printer may conflict with another one). The network segment part of the IP address

and Subnet Mask must be the same as those of PC connecting with a printer. For example, the

address of working PC is 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 (IP/Subnet Mask), then which of printer should be set to 192.168.0.x/255.255.255.0（x=2~254 and should avoid the IP in used. It is not

restricted for NetFinder to search printers in the same network but different segment parts (can not

stride gateway). Relative glossary of IP address may refer to corresponding information.

2) Setting printer’s IP address

Select the printer information to be modified (black frame appears), click “Assign IP” button. Set the

IP in the dialog box appearing.

Check the “Use DHCP” if need to assign dynamic address, the settings above will be disabled

automatically. Please make sure there is a DHCP server in the network, or the printer can not

receive an effective IP address.

When to specify static address, uncheck “Use DHCP” and fill in “IP address”, “Subnet Mask” and

“Default Gateway”. If there is no gateway in the network, fill 255.255.255.255 in the “Default

gateway”. “IP address” and “Subnet Mask” should obey the assigning rules of local LAN (Ethernet),

please enquire the administrator of networks which the printer connects to for more details.

Click “OK” to send address setting information to the specified printer. The printer takes response

after “Close this window on success” is checked, and then this dialog is closed automatically. Select

“Reload Timer” then the software will wait for the printer’s response. Generally, printer will take

response in a circle time if network connection is correct.

Click “Cancel” if you abandon the modification.

Click “Search” in the main interface again to update printer information after modifying the printer’s

IP address.
