2-4 Connecting to a network (Ethernet)
All Evolis printers have the benet of a TCP/IP network connection mechanism. This feature is available as standard or as an option,
depending on the model in the range.
Out of the box, the printer comes congured in DHCP mode (Dynamic Host Conguration 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 conguring the printer differently
in order to comply with the constraints imposed by the corporate LAN:
l Printer connected in a subnet, in DHCP
l Printer connected within a subnet with xed IP address, with WINS resolution
l Printer connected within a subnet with xed IP address, without WINS resolution
The printer may be identied on the network in two ways:
l By its hostname (NETBIOS)
l By its IP address.
The user-denable settings are:
l The printer’s IP address
l Subnet mask
l Gateway
l 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 ‘Conguration of Evolis printers on a TCP/IP (Ethernet) LAN’ manual.
