Double click NetFinder.exe in the PC which connects the printer in the same LAN. The figure of the software is shown as follows:

2. Search printer

Click “Search” button in the main interface, the dialog box appearing will begin searching automatically and show appearance, listing a printer in the main interface if found. The time is

counting down in the progress bar (10s in total) and the search will finish as soon as the time is over. When going on searching, press “search” button again.

If the printer still can not be found out when the network connection is correct in the same network, please check whether the network fire wall on the PC opens or not. If there is fire wall, please close it temporarily, open again after finishing searching and setting a printer completely.

3. Setting printer’s IP address

The printer's information is listed in the main interface, the left side of which is the model and description and the right are the IP address and MAC address. What’s more, the assign mode (dynamic/static) is noted behind the IP address.

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 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

BP-900KII User's Manual

- 16 -

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 IP address of printer

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.

3）Report IP address of printer

Report the printer’s IP address, which will be used in the section “Newly-install printer network driver” or “Upgrade-install printer network driver (setting driver’s network port)”.

2.8.3 Installing Printer Network Driver

The ways of installing network driver are classified into Newly-install way and Upgrade-install way according to whether the PC installs the printer driver or not.

According to different storage conditions, paper would easily become fold, bend or curliness through manually disposal, transport and deposit. Therefore, they would affect paper feeding when using these papers. Thus, please use them after amending according to the following regulations. The papers which failed to come up to specifications would affect paper feeding seriously, please do not use them.

○ Fold (cut sheet, continuous paper)

• The paper that the whole page has folded can not be used.

(As the paper strength has been changed even though after amending.)

• Please amend the fold of the corner for less than 2 mm.

○ Bend and curliness (cut sheet, continuous paper)

• The paper can be used when the bend of the whole page less than 2 mm.

• The bend length starts from the bend point should within 15mm. But when the bend height is over 2 mm, paper can not be used.

6.1.4 Continuous Paper

Continuous paper is the continuous paper which has tractor holes and the traverse perforations lines.

• The position of point pulp is shown as below.

○ Line Pulp

• The line pulp position should be the same. and the width is 1 ~ 2mm.

• The position of line pulp should be pressed down tightly to avoid warping.

• Line pulp fixing should not use the paper which is obviously crease.

• Please don’t bare the pulp at the edge of paper.
