FARGO electronic HDP600 CR100, HDP600-LC Technical Specification Ethernet Option, Requirement

RESTRICTED USE ONLY Fargo Electronics, Inc.

Introduction

The Ethernet option includes the Ethernet port and the internal Printer Server.

∙Printer Management: The Printer Driver provides bi-directional status information so you can monitor and manage the Printer just as you would any other networked Printer.

∙Compatibility: The Fargo Ethernet option provides compatibility with TCP/IP and 802.3 Ethernet protocols with an IEEE 802.3 10/100Base-T Ethernet female RJ45 connector.

∙Application: With the Ethernet Option properly installed and configured, these Printers are able to print in the same manner as a Printer directly connected to the PC via a USB interface.

Requirement

An IEEE 802.3 10/100 Base-T Ethernet network is required.

A Fargo Printer with the Ethernet option installed is required.

Since TCP/IP is used for the network communication, the Printer must be configured with an IP address and a subnet mask (before it can be seen on the network).

An additional network setting for the Default Gateway can also be configured, which allows communication across the subnets.

A PC running Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003 connected to the network is required.

The host PC must have installed the correct Printer Driver with Ethernet support. (Note: This Driver must be configured for printing to the IP address of the Printer.)
