4 Enter the printer’s IP address in the address field of your web
browser (for example http://255.255.255.001). This brings
up the printer’s home page, where it is possible to check and
modify various printer settings. Modifying settings requires a
login name and a password: by default, these are set to
“admin” and “pass” respectively.
Please refer to the EasyLAN User’s Guide (P/N 1-960590-xx) for
more information on how to set up and operate the PD42 in
your network environment.
If your network does not assign IP numbers automatically, or the
Ready-to-Work indicator is flashing to indicate a network error,
you can use PrintSet 4 (available on the PrinterCompanion CD)
to correct the network settings. Alternatively, set up a terminal
connection through the serial interface and use the Fingerprint
Setup command. See “Changing Configuration Settings” on
page 31, or refer to the Intermec Fingerprint Programmer’s
Reference Manual (P/N 937-005-xxx).
