Reviewing Frequently-asked Questions-Ethernet
Question Answer
How can I find the IP
address of my Ethernet
Printer?
You can find it in the LCD of the Printer if the Ethernet
option is functioning properly.
Select Info, then select Next several times until the IP
address is shown.
Can I print from my PC to
multiple Ethernet Printers?
Choose “Local printer…” unless a shared network printer
is to be installed on a print server.
Use the Windows “Add Printer Wizard” to create a printer
instance to communicate to the printer at the new IP
address.
If the printer port is not listed as an existing port then a
new “HDP5000 TCP/IP Card Printer Port” must be
created and configured to communicate to the printer at
the proper IP address.
See the appropriate Windows documentation for additional
help.
Can multiple PC’s print to
my Ethernet Printer?
Yes. Each PC must install the Printer Driver software for
the specific Fargo Ethernet-enabled Printer and connect to
the intended Printer, using the correct IP address.
Can I print from my PC to
an Ethernet Printer on a
different network segment?
Yes. If you know the IP address of the Printer on any
segment of your network, you will be able to print to it.
Can I use Fargo IP-Tracer
to locate Printers on a
different network segment?
No. The IP-Tracer can only locate Fargo-compatible
Printers located in the same network segment (as the PC
running IP-Tracer).
