Installation Guide

Caution

Always turn o the power to the printer and remove
the power cord before replacing the interface board.

Replacing the Interface Board

1. Remove the two screws that x the bracket of the parallel interface board
to the printer. Then gently pull the interface board towards you. When
you do this, be careful not catch or damage the connecting cable. Do not
pull the cable too much as this could also cause damage.

2. Remove the connecting cable from the interface board and reconnect the
cable to the connector of the new interface board.

3. Insert the interface board into the printer so that the connecting cable does
not catch on the printer. The new board is slightly larger than the original
board, so the interface cable will need to be tucked in carefully.

4. Use the two screws that you removed to re-x the bracket in place.

Testing the Interface Board

5. To test the interface board’s correct operation, connect the power cord
and the ethernet cable to the printer, insert some standard media,
preferably 4” x 4” labels, (100mm x 100mm), then switch on the power.

6. Briey press the blue button visible on the new interface’s bracket.
This will produce an “network self-test page”.
If you have an ethernet cable connected the “network self-test page”
will show you details of any network parameters already congured.

Conguring the Interface using Explorer

8. To congure the network board, you can use the “PrintServer Network Tools”
included on the CD supplied with the printer. However, the easiest way to
congure the board is to use a Web Browser, such as Internet Explorer, running
on a PC connected to the same network.

9. If you have a “DHCP Server” operating on your network (a system that ‘gives
out’ network addresses to new equipment), you can easily nd out the address
allocated to the printer by briey press the blue button visible on the network
board’s bracket. This will generate the “network self-test page”, shown on the
previous page.

10. On the self-test, under the TCP/IP section, there will be a line saying “IP address”
together with four groups of digits separated by dots. It should also say
“asigned by DHCP” next to it.

11. Start “Internet Explorer” or a similar web browser on a PC connected to the
same network. When entering this network address, you should remove the
‘leading zeros’ on the address. So for example you have to type
“192.168.0.65” in to the address bar.

12. To ‘force’ a new IP address for the printer, click on the TCPIP menu under the
conguration section. Type in the new address in the ‘IP address’ line and adjust
any other parameters. It is also very important that you untick the DHCP box,
otherwise the printer will continue to take its address from the DHCP server,
rather than using the new address you typed in.

For further information, please contact our local administrator.
