Getting Started Before You Begin Before You Begin 10/100 Internal PS offers many features, but how you access and work with them is dependent on your environment. Before you begin, you need to get information from the 10/100 Internal PS configuration label. Important • Make sure the printer is turned off (O). Table 5 shows the minimum label widths needed to print a 10/100 Internal PS configuration label with different DPI printheads. Table 5 • Label Width DPI Inches MM 300 2.50 63.
Getting Started Before You Begin Figure 9 • Network Configuration Label for BBP81 (4”)/BBP81 (6”) 07/18/2008 BradyConnect 10/100 Internal Print Server User Guide Y885775 35
Getting Started Before You Begin 6. Press Setup/Exit to exit the Setup Mode. 7. From the network configuration label, you need to look for these numbers: • IP PROTOCOL • IP ADDRESS • SUBNET MASK • DEFAULT GATEWAY • MAC ADDRESS 8. On the network configuration label that prints out for your 10/100 Internal PS device, circle the aforementioned settings. You can now proceed to Assigning an IP Address on page 40.
Getting Started Using the Control Panel to View and Modify Print Server Parameters Using the Control Panel to View and Modify Print Server Parameters You may change several print server parameters using the control panel on the printer. Table 6 shows the parameters that may be viewed or modified through the printer’s control panel for BBP81 (4”) and BBP81 (6”) printers with firmware version ZZSP1148A or later.
Getting Started Defaulting the 10/100 Internal PS Defaulting the 10/100 Internal PS This section provides you with instructions for defaulting the 10/100 Internal PS to factory settings using the control panel and WebView. Defaulting the 10/100 PS on the BBP81 (4”) and BBP81 (6”) Printers To default the 10/100 Internal PS to factory settings using the control panel on the BBP81 (4’) or BBP81 (6”) printers, complete these steps: 1. From the control panel, press Setup/Exit two times. 2.
Getting Started Defaulting the 10/100 Internal PS WebView To default the 10/100 Internal PS to factory settings using WebView, complete these steps: 1. From the BradyConnect PrintServer view, click Factory Print Server Settings. The Restore to Factory Defaults page opens: Figure 10 • Restore to Factory Defaults 2. Enable the check box for the settings you want to reset, and click Submit Changes. Important • During the reset cycle, the web pages are unavailable.
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address Assigning an IP Address Before you can begin working with 10/100 Internal PS, you must get or assign an IP address for the 10/100 Internal PS device. There are three different ways to assign an IP address. Here is a list and a brief description of each method: • Web View — Browser-enabled method to assign an IP address. • DHCP — See your LAN administrator for more information. • Telnet — DOS command to assign an IP address.
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address In a Non-Windows Environment These steps can be used to assign an IP address using the control panel (LCD). Assigning an IP address from the printer LCD To assign an IP address from the printer LCD, complete these steps: 1. Connect Ethernet before turning on the printer. 2. Turn on (I) the printer and wait until the LCD says PRINTER READY. If you do not have a network cable in the port, the 10/100 Internal PS prints the configuration label when it is ready. 3.
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address Assigning an IP Address via a Telnet Session If your environment is not Windows-based, this section is for you. However, this method can be used in a Windows environment, too. The methods used for assigning an IP address with a Telnet session are Static Route and Gleaning. Important • This applies to any TCP/IP-capable workstation/host networked with the Brady printer. Both, the workstation/host and the 10/100 Internal PS, must be on the same network segment.
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address Gleaning A method by which the 10/100 Internal PS uses the IP address of the first ping packet that is sent to its hardware address. Note • Gleaning works only on local subnets at routers. It does not pass Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) broadcasts. To use this method, complete these steps: 1. Add an entry to the ARP table that assigns an IP address to an Ethernet (hardware) address.

Suggestions include the following: • Ping the printer to determine the ability to communicate with the printer. See Ping the Printer. • Or open a Telnet session and send a ZPL command to print a configuration label. See Telnet on page 85 for more information.
Hardware Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the 10/100 PS Telnet Open a telnet session to send a ZPL command from a DOS prompt. This procedure can be used when running Vx.15.x or later firmware. In this example, a ZPL II command is used to cause a label to print. Note • You do not need to open a telnet session if you pinged the printer using the previous procedure. The purpose of these two procedures is to identify whether your PC can communicate with your printer.

Print Protocols FTP FTP Embedded within the 10/100 Internal PS is an FTP server application that processes file transfers from a host computer to the printer. If the printer is on a network, label formats can be generated and data can be transferred without setting up a print queue. To send information to the printer in a Windows environment, try this exercise: 1. In Notepad, generate the following ZPL II code: ^XA ^FO100,100 ^CF0,55^FDBrady Corporation^FS ^XZ 2. Save the file with the name: c:\test.

Print Queues Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD)-Style Print Queue Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD)-Style Print Queue BSD is a version of the UNIX OS that includes TCP/IP. Configuring the Print Queue For remote BSD-style LPD printing, add the 10/100 Internal PS as a remote printer in the /etc/printcap database to each host printing to the 10/100 Internal PS. You can add printcap options as needed. If you are unfamiliar with these options, consult the printer documentation.

E Frequently Asked Questions This appendix provides a group of frequently asked questions (FAQs) about 10/100 Internal PS. FAQs Can the BradyConnect 10/100 Internal PS option work on a computer network that is running both TCP/IP and IPX protocols simultaneously? Yes. The BradyConnect 10/100 Internal PS runs all of its available protocols simultaneously. This means that the BradyConnect 10/100 Internal PS can run on mixed networks such as a network using Microsoft, and UNIX.
Frequently Asked Questions What if a print job makes it to the queue, but never leaves the queue? The label does not print. These are the things to check: • Confirm that the printer is turned on and receiving power. • Confirm that the network cable is plugged in and that you can ping the printer. • If that does not solve the issue, it is likely that there was a misconfiguration while creating the queue.
Frequently Asked Questions What are my network connectivity options based on when using a 10/100 Internal PS? It depends on your environment, but the print server accepts print jobs in any of the following ways: • FTP — ZPL/EPL files can be sent to the printer as standard ASCII files via an FTP client. • HTTP — Using the script option on the printers Directory web page, you can type ZPL into a specified location of the Web browser and send it to the printer.

Glossary 10BaseT A type of Ethernet that uses unshielded twisted pair cable. 100BaseT A type of Ethernet that can transmit 100Mb of data per second with a twisted-pair cable. ARP The standard TCP/IP method for determining the actual network address of a device based on its IP address. ASCII A standard for the binary representation of characters. BOOTP BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is a protocol that lets a network client configure automatically.
Glossary DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) DHCP is an alternative to another network IP management protocol, Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). Like BOOTP, DHCP can configure an IP address, gateway, subnet, system name, and name server. When speaking about the 10/100 Internal PS, BOOTP, and DHCP configure the same options. delete bytes This number is used to remove characters from the beginning of every job sent to the logical printer. The value for delete bytes can range from 0 to 255.
Glossary name server A workstation on a TCP/IP network that provides a list of all workstations on the network. node A device connected to a network, such as a computer or print server. parallel port A port on a device that sends information in groups of bits over multiple wires, one wire for each bit in a group. ping A TCP/IP command that determines whether a device is accessible on the network.
