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

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 is the IP and MAC address. What’s more, the assign mode

Button description:
Exit—Exit from the software
Search—Search printers in the same LAN
Assign IP—Modify the IP address and other settings for the specified printer.
DP100 User’s Manual
- 11 -
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 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.

Chapter 3 Loading Paper
DP100 can use many kinds of different specification papers. And it also has convenient install and
uninstall paper function. This chapter will introduce these functions in detail.
3.1 Paper Thickness Adjustment
Before loading roll paper or tractor paper, you have to adjust the gap adjust lever on the right
side of the printer. To feed thicker paper through the printer, you need to move the gap adjust
lever from its standard position. The lever moves the print head relative to the platen so that
there is more room for the paper.
Adjusting the gap adjust lever
To obtain good quality printing and avoid problems (paper jam etc.), adjust the gap adjust lever
as shown in the Figure 3-1. The scale number # 1 shown in Figure 3-1 identifies the standard of
paper thickness setting. This is the recommended setting for most paper. Use Table 3-1 to find
the recommended setting for other paper.

Appendix E Black mark
DP100 series printer is equipped with black mark checked settings, which is installed on the left side of
the printer at the factory setting and other selectable installed position should be reserved. The
concrete installed position of black mark sensor is according to the paper specification that customer
use practically.
DP100 printer with Tractor paper can use any black mark paper specification as follows:
1. Tractor paper with 76mm to 142mm Paper width (Black mark is on the left.)
2. Tractor paper with 76mm Paper width (Black mark is on the left.)
3. Tractor paper with 142mm Paper width (Black mark is on the left.)
DP100 printer with roll paper can use any black mark paper specification as follows:
1. Roll paper with 57.5mm、76mm or 114mm Paper width (Black mark is on the left.)
2. Roll paper with 57.5mm Paper width (Black mark is on the left.)
3. Roll paper with 76mm Paper width (Black mark is on the left.)
4. Roll paper with 114mm Paper width (Black mark is on the left.)
The black mark center should be aligned with the middle of “arrow” when installing the black mark
paper.
The command of searching black mark: 1D 0C (HEX)
Description:
After receiving this command, the printer feeds paper automatically to search black mark till check
there is one, and then stops after leaping over it. Notice in black mark printing:
① Black mark is usually printed on the left print surface of bill.
② The dimension of black mark is (width * height): 10×6mm.
③ The black area of black mark, reflectivity≤10％. The white area outside, reflectivity＞70％. The
reflectivity is based on the measure value using Macbeth density meter (PCMII) D filter.
④ The black mark printing should be away from bore location, printed in the non-perforation area
between two holes.
⑤ The distance between black mark center and print position center is about 2.8cm.
