2-5 Connecting to a network (Ethernet)
All Evolis printers can be tted with a TCP/IP network connection. This function is available as standard on the Zenius Expert.
Out of the box, the printer comes congured in DHCP mode (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol), which means that its IP address
is supplied by the network. In addition to these basic settings, the network administrator has the option of conguring the printer
differently in order to comply with the constraints imposed by the corporate LAN:
n Printer connected in a subnet, in DHCP mode
n Printer connected to a subnet in xed IP address mode, with WINS resolution
n Printer connected to a subnet in xed IP address mode, without WINS resolution
The printer may be identied on the network in two ways:
n By its Hostname (NETBIOS)
n By its IP address.
In addition, the Ethernet connection wizard will automatically detect all installed Evolis printers.
The user-denable settings are:
n IP address of the printer
n Subnetwork mask
n Gateway
n WINS server
Changing the printer’s basic settings, without prior knowledge of the layout of the LAN in question or without genuine
technical knowledge may result in a malfunction of the printer, and may even extend to a more widespread failure of
all or part of the LAN. Contact your System and Network Administrator before connecting to or changing the settings
for your local area network.
For further details, refer to the ‘Conguration of Evolis printers on a TCP/ IP (Ethernet) LAN’ manual.
