2 - General remarks
All Evolis printers have the benet of a TCP/IP network connection mechanism.
This feature is available as standard or as an option, depending on the model in the range.
By default, the printer comes configured in DHCP mode (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol),
which means that its IP address is supplied by the network. Besides, by default, Wi-Fi is disabled.
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:
• Printer connected in a subnet, in DHCP.
• Printer connected within a subnet with xed IP address, with WINS resolution.
• Printer connected within a subnet with xed IP address, without WINS resolution.
• Printer connected in Wi-Fi.
The printer may be identied on the network according to:
• Its hostname (NETBIOS),
• Its IP address,
• Its serial number.
The user-denable settings are:
• The printer’s IP address,
• Subnet mask,
• Gateway,
• WINS server,
• Wireless connection settings
The following sections describe the procedures to be followed in order to congure the printer taking the
specic features of the LAN / Wi-Fi into account.
The examples and screen images are from a Microsoft Windows environment, on the basis of which your
System and Network Administrator will have full scope to congure the printer in other environments
such as Mac OS X or Linux.
2.1 Interface characteristics
Protocol: 10Base-T / 100Base-T
Speed: 10Mbit/sec and 100Mbit/sec, automatic detection
Connection: Auto-MDX
Link: Half / Full duplex
LED: Green LED
On = 10Mbit/s
Off = 100Mbit/s
Orange LED
On = Printer connected to network
Flashing = Printer connected and network trafc
2.2 TCP/IP Protocol
• IPv4 compatible
• IP address congured under DHCP (factory setting) or manually
• Raw mode printing uses the TCP/9100 port
• Name authentication is based on NBNS (NetBios Name Server)
• NBNS service via TCP for WINS resolution when the WINS server is congured.
When the IP address is static, the conguration relating to the gateway, subnet masks and WINS
resolution is set manually.
When the printer is congured in DHCP mode, this data is supplied by the DHCP server.
2.3 Wi-Fi
Your printer may have an optional Wi-Fi interface. Out of factory, the wired interface is enabled and
the Wi-Fi interface is disabled. See how to congure the printer on a Wi-Fi network on paragraph 5.2.2
Wireless, page 18.
