1.5.2 Ethernet connection
A couple of parameters have to be set when connecting a printer to the Ethernet. It is
recommended to check a couple of network settings or ask the network administrator for
following info:
Is the network working with DHCP server or not?
If so, what is the lease time and what is the IP pool range of the DHCP server.
If not, you need to find out what the used IP range is.
Also ask for the value for the subnet mask.
If the network administrator can already provide a free IP address and the value of the
subnet mask, you can go directly to the procedure Case set everything manual
.
If the values are not known in advance and need to be searched for, you need to follow the
below procedure.
 In case the DHCP server is used:
If there is no lease time set (the lease time is infinite) then no parameters have to be set on
the cutter. Just connect the cutter and write down the IP address to set up the printing
software.
Check the IP address in communication menu:
1. Power on the printer (see section 1.4) and connect the Ethernet cable.
2.
Press status bar
3.
Press Status

.
If a lease time is set, then use a static IP address. If the IP pool range is known, then use an
address outside this range. If this is not possible, then try and change the IP pool range of
the network, so that there are a couple of addresses vacant to be used as a static address.
NOTE:
Be careful when changing the IP pool range of a network. Check if there
are no devices attached to the network that uses IP addresses outside the new
IP pool range (use the ping command for this – see
ping). If such devices are
found, then switch them off and back on after the pool range
has been
changed.
If an address can be chosen outside the IP pool range, then check if this address is vacant
with the ping command on a computer in the network (use the ping command for this –
see ping
).
If no address can be chosen outside the IP pool range (the range is not known, or the range
cannot be changed), then check the manual of the router if it is possible to link a static IP
address to a mac address. If so, choose a vacant IP address (use the ping command for this –
see check if chosen IP is free
) and link it to the mac address of the printer in the router setup
or DHCP setup.
