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.
