IntelliBar Net100 Series Printers –Macintosh OS X Setup Guide
Introduction
This document provides instructions for installing IntelliBar Net100 Series printers in a Macintosh OS X computer system network.
IntelliBar Net100 printers are required for use with Macintosh computer networks.
NOTE: IntelliBar Standard Series printers are not compatible
with Macintosh computer networks.
IntelliBar Net100 Macintosh printer drivers work with Mac OS 10.5.1 and later Mac OS versions.
Three IntelliBar Net100 Macintosh printer drivers are installed concurrently for the IntelliBar M48 Net100, M412 Net100 and M88 Net100 printers.
There are four steps for configuring the IntelliBar printers into a Macintosh Leopard system:
1. Set up the IntelliBar printer.
2. Connect the IntelliBar printer to your network.
3. Install the IntelliBar printer and drivers on your Mac.
4. Configure the IntelliBar Net100 embedded print server.
1. Set up the IntelliBar Net100 Printer
The IntelliBar Net100 should have the necessary supplies (ribbon, labels or other media) installed and should be configured for your printing requirements. If necessary, refer to
IntelliBar User’s guide located on the CD-ROM supplied with your printer or access the
IntelliBar User’s Guide on the IntelliTech International web site.
2. Connect the IntelliBar printer to your network
A. Connect the printer to your network with an Ethernet CAT5 or CAT6 cable. Connect one
end of the cable to the network device. With the printer powered off, plug the other end of the cable into the Net100 print server socket, which is located on the lower left rear panel of the printer.
B. Turn on the printer power. The IntelliBar print server is set to DHCP Boot Mode as the
factory default. In this mode when the printer is powered on, it will automatically be assigned an IP address by your network OS. NOTE: We recommend that you change the Boot Mode to STATIC when you configure the print server in Step 4.

drive.
F. After a successful install, click on the Close button to finish the driver install to the
Hard Drive.
G. To install a new printer, click on System Preferences
H. In the Systems Preferences window, click Printer & Fax
I. In the Printer & Fax window, click on the “+” symbol under the blank box on the left
side of the window above to add a new printer.
J. Refer to the print server status report you printed earlier. Type the IP address in the
report into the Address Window as shown below. The IP address “192.168.0.103” is used only as an example in this illustration.
K. Click the “Add” button. L. Click on the Options & Supplies button in the middle right hand side.
M. In the Options and Supplies window, click on the Driver tab.
N. The “Print Using: window will open. Click on the up/down arrows in blue on the right
side of the “Print Using” line.

4. Configuring the IntelliBar Net100 Embedded Print Server
A. Link to the Net100 web server.
I. Open a web browser on a computer attached to the same network as the Net100
printer.
II. Enter the Net100 IP address from the print server status page in the browser locater
window and press the enter key.
III. The browser will connect to the Net100 embedded web server and the Printer Status
page window will open. Click on the link. Update Status
IV. The Network Configuration Login page will open. You will be prompted to enter a
password. Enter the password “access” (not case sensitive) and click on the “Submit” button. You will be granted access to the Printer Status Page.
< CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE >
B. Click on the “TCP/IP link on the left side of the Printer Status page, which will open the
Configure TCP/IP page.
C. In the Configure TCP/IP window, IP Address block enter the desired IP Address, Subnet Mask
and Gateway information.
Note: If the IP address you enter here is different than the IP
address you used in Step 3.M. above to install the printer on your Mac, you must change the IP address in the Mac printer setup to the same address as this one. Otherwise the printer cannot be found on the network by the Mac.
D. Set Boot Method. The default Boot Method is set to “Auto.” From the drop down menu you may
select alternate boot methods: Auto, Bootp, DHCP, Rarp, Static. Choose the method you prefer.
NOTE: If you wish to retain the same IP address, subnet mask
and gateway address, choose “Static.” The Static Boot Method is preferred and recommended in order to prevent lost print jobs. Should the IP address be
assigned dynamically (DHCP) the printer may receive a
different IP address. Computers configured with the printer’s initial IP address will not be able to locate the printer with the new address and will not be able to
print to the Net100 as a consequence.
E. Set Timeout. Scroll down the Configure TCP/IP window to the TCP Timeout setting. The
default setting is set to 1 minute. Change the setting to “0.” Changing the setting to 0 prevents the printer from ever timing out, keeping it constantly available to receive print jobs.
F. Set Keep Alive. Scroll click on the Keepalive Timer setting. The default setting is set to zero (0)
minutes. Change the setting to “1.” Changing the setting to 1 enables the printer to send a notification of its presence on the network once every minute, which prevents the printer from becoming “lost” to the network.
G. Submit settings changes. To apply your settings changes, click on the Submit button at the
bottom of the Printer Status Page.
H. If you settings have successfully changed the printer configuration you will see the following
message: "Configuration has been modified. The unit must be reset for new values to take effect. Data updated successfully."
I. Confirm Settings Changes. Click on the Admin button on the left side of the Printer
Status Page. The Admin Configuration page will appear.
J. Click the Print Test Page link. The Net100 will then print a test page.
K. The test page provides (1) a confirmation of network connectivity between the host
computer and the printer and (2) a listing of the printer network setting.
Verify that the settings in the test page are the desired settings. If all settings are correct, your IntelliBar Net100 printer is now successfully configured for your network.
