All Evolis printers can be tted with a TCP/IP network connection. This function is available as standard on the Zenius Expert.
Out of the box, the printer comes congured in DHCP mode (Dynamic Host Conguration 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 conguring the printer differently
in order to comply with the constraints imposed by the corporate LAN:
n Printe r c o nne c te d in a sub ne t, in DHC P mo d e
n Printer connected to a subnet in xed IP address mode, with WINS resolution
n Printer connected to a subnet in xed IP address mode, without WINS resolution
The printer may be identied on the network in two ways:
n By its Hostname (NETBIOS)
n By its IP a d d re ss.
