CONNECTING TO A NETWORK
The Edikio Flex printer has a TCP/IP network connection solution. To connect your printer, we recommend using the wizard available in the 'Tools'
menu of the Edikio Print Center.
Out of the box, the printer comes configured in DHCP mode (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), which means that its IP address is supplied by
the network. In addition to these basic settings, the network administrator has the option of configuring the printer differently in order to comply
with the constraints imposed by the corporate LAN:
∙ Printer connected in a subnet, in DHCP
∙ Printer connected in a subnet with fixed IP
address, and WINS resolution
∙ Printer connected in a subnet with fixed IP
address, and no WINS resolution
The printer may be identified on the network in
two ways:
∙ By its Hostname (NETBIOS)
∙ By its IP address
In addition, the Ethernet connection wizard
will automatically detect all the Edikio printers
installed.
The configurable settings are:
∙ Printer IP address
∙ Subnet mask
∙ Gateway
∙ WINS server
Edikio printers with a TCP/IP network interface have an embedded http server.
NOTE
Changing the printer's basic settings, without prior knowledge of the layout of the LAN in question or without genuine technical
knowledge may result in a malfunction of the printer, and may even extend to a more widespread failure of all or part of the LAN.
Please contact your System and Network Administrator before connecting to or changing the settings for your local area network.
