Section 1
1 Using the Ethernet option
1.1 Introduction
The Ethernet option includes the Ethernet port and the internal printer server.
n Printer Management: The printer driver provides bi-directional status information so you can monitor
and manage the printer just as you would any other networked printer.
n Compatibility: The Ethernet option provides compatibility with TCP/IP and 802.3 Ethernet protocols
with an IEEE 802.3 10/100Base-T Ethernet female RJ45 connector.
n Application: The Ethernet Option applies to the card printer/encoder. With the Ethernet option
properly installed and configured, these printers are able to print in the same manner as a printer
directly connected to the PC using a USB interface.
Important: Any reference to a specific printer name is for demonstration purposes only. Your printer
name varies according to what you are using.
1.2 Technical Specification - Ethernet Option
For safety purposes, Ethernet is not intended for a direct connection outside of the building.
Function Requirement
Network An IEEE 802.3 10/100 Base-T Ethernet network is required.
Printer A printer with the Ethernet option installed is required.
Printer Configuration Since TCP/IP is used for the network communication, the printer must be configured with
an IP address and a subnet mask (before it can be seen on the network).
An additional network setting for the default gateway can also be configured, which
allows communication across the subn ets.
Host Computer A PC running Windows 7 (32- or64-bit), Windows 10 (32- and 64-bit), Windows Server
2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Server 2016.
Host Printer Driver The host PC must have the correct printer driver with Ethernet support installed.
Note: This driver must be configured for printing to the IP address of the printer.
