E-8 Videojet DataFlex 6530 Service Manual - Rev AA
E.1.8.3 Connecting the Printers Together
To connect the printers proceed as follows:
1. If the Videojet DataFlex 6530 printers are not already connected, they may be connected
together as described “Physical Installation” on page E-2.
After a few seconds any Faults and/or Warnings messages on the Master and Slave printers
becomes 'clearable' indicating that all connections have been successfully made.
2. If any Faults/Warnings can not be cleared, switch off and on the slave printer concerned.
3. If a problem persists, repeat the previous configuration steps to ensure the master has been
configured with the correct number of slaves and that no slaves have been assigned with the
same printer number.
4. If operating under 'Group Control' mode, any Faults and/or Warnings present on the Slave
printers is reported on the Master printer user interface screen, then they must be cleared at
the Master printer.
E.1.8.4 Advanced Configuration
Advanced configuration is designed for situations where the group is to be connected to a
wider area TCP/IP network and allows the use of IP addresses instead of simple numbers to
identify the printers.
In order to configure the printers correctly you must obtain one IP address from the IT
department for each printer. These must be static IP addresses, not dynamically-assigned
addresses. The 'Subnet Mask' used on the network and port number for Master/Slave
communications is also required.
The default port number is 3002 and in most situations it is not necessary to change this
number.
Note: Change the default port number only if you are instructed to do so by the IT department.
To avoid confusion, the same port number should be used for all Slave printers.
