Getting Started1-1
GETTING STARTED
Your Avery Dennison MonarchTabletop Printer 1 may contain a wireless module
with MonarchNet2software. A wireless module allows remote access to configure and control
your printers using a WLAN (wireless local area network) or WWW (world-wide web) connection.
The wireless module communicates on an 802.11a/b/g/n wireless network.
Refer to your network manuals for more information. This manual does not include information
about setting up your wireless network.
Audience
This manual is written for the System Administrator who sets up printers on the network and is
familiar with basic networking principles.
System Requirements
To use the wireless module for printing from a wireless network, you need an 802.11a/b/g/n wireless
network. The wireless network consists of either of the following:
♦An 802.11a/b/g/n wireless-enabled computer printing straight to the printer (Ad-Hoc mode).
♦An 802.11a/b/g/n wireless access point allowing wireless and wired Ethernet-enabled computers
to print to the wireless module (infrastructure mode).
To configure and print, you need the following:
1. The MAC address from the label of the wireless module(for example: 004017023F96).
2. The following information from your wireless network administrator:
♦Wireless mode (infrastructure or Ad-Hoc).
♦The SSID (service set identifier) for your wireless network.
♦If you are using TCP/IP (recommended for Windows Networks) and are not connected to a
DHCP server (for obtaining an IP address automatically), you need a unique IP address for
the wireless module (for example: 192.0.0.192) and a subnet mask. If the wireless module is
not on the same IP subnet as the computers you are printing from, you need a router. A
wireless module with an IP address of 192.0.0.192 will not be seen by a network looking for
devices with a prefix of 10.1.xxx.xxx. A router (default gateway) address is optional.
♦Wireless security settings.

Using a Web Browser2-1
USING A WEB BROWSER
You can configure and manage the printer using a Web browser. The recommended minimum
screen resolution for your computer is 1024 x 768 pixels. Before you begin, you need to know your
printer’s IP address. The printer should be turned on and ready to receive data.
Note: The screens shown in this manual may not exactly match what you see.
It may take about a minute, depending on network traffic, for the printer to connect to an access
point. When the printer is connected and ready to receive data you see:
The printer’s display shows the antenna symbol when the printer is connected and ready to receive
data.
Logging In
1. Start your Web browser.
2. Type in your printer’s IP address and press Enter. For example, 192.0.0.192.
If the printer is experiencing a ribbon or supply problem, the icon for Printer Status appears
with a red background.
If the printer has a wireless connection, the signal strength icon appears.
The power status shows AC or DC (using a Mobile Work Station) depending on your
connection.
3. Click Log In or the printer’s name (for example: PXR8A983A).

4. Type access for the password and click Submit. You do not need a user name. The password
is case-sensitive and saved in the printer’s flash memory. See “Changing the Password” to
change the password.
The About tab appears with information about your printer, including printer name, IP address,
installed/enabled options, and more.
Click the Tech Support tab if you need to contact us.

Using a Web Browser2-3
Configuring the Printer
You can configure the printer using your Web browser.
1. From the side Menu Bar, click Printer Configuration.
2. Select one of the following tabs: Printer Setup or Supply Setup.
Changing the Printer Setup
Only configure the settings required for your network/printer.
Note: Only the available options for your printer are displayed.
1. On the Printer Setup tab, set the Ribbon: None, Ribbon, or High Energy.
2. Set the Supply Type: Edge Aperture, Edge Die Cut, Edge Black Mark, Continuous, Center
Aperture, Center Die Cut, or Center Black Mark.
3. Set the Feed Mode: Continuous, On Demand, or Liner take-up (optional).
4. Enter a value for the Cut Adjust (Position). The range is –300 to 300. This adjusts where the
tag is cut.
5. Enter a value for the Supply Position. The range is –300 to 300. This adjusts the printer to
print at the vertical 0,0 point. Only adjust on initial printer setup.
6. Set the Batch Separators: No, Yes, or Long.
7. Set the Skip Index mode: No or Yes. Skip index allows you to print an image over multiple
labels.
8. Set the Backfeed: Off, On, or Extended. Backfeed advances each printed label to the specified
dispense position and then backs up the next label to be printed underneath the printhead. Do
not use extended backfeed on printers without a cutter.
9. Enter a value for the Dispense Position (range is 50 to 200). This adjusts the stopping point of
the label after it is printed.
10.Enter a value for the Backfeed Distance (range is 20 to 200). This is the amount to move the
label backwards before printing.
