GETTING STARTED
The Avery Dennison® Monarch® 9419 Printer prints on thermal transfer (ribbon) and
thermal direct labels or tags. The printer prints labels continuously (in one strip) or on-
demand (one label at a time). You can print on die cut, black mark, or continuous (non-
indexed) supplies.
The printer operates in either online or offline mode:
Online Mode Use online mode when the printer receives print data from a
connected host (PC or network). For online mode information, refer
to the Online Mode System Administrator’s Guide.
Offline Mode Use offline mode (stand-alone mode) when the printer receives data
from a keyboard or scanner. The printer is not connected to a host.
The printer comes pre-loaded with nine standard formats. Custom
offline formats can be loaded.
This manual contains information about using offline mode.
Audience
This manual is for the System Administrator who configures and updates the printer for
use in offline mode.
♦To load supplies, print labels, or care for the printer, refer to the Equipment Manual.
♦To create format and batch packets for printing or how to configure the printer online,
refer to the Packet Reference Manual.
Use the Printer Management Utility to transfer files to the printer and configure the
printer. See Appendix A, “Using the Printer Management Utility” for more information.
Using the Control Panel
The control panel has an LCD display with two function buttons and a navigation button.

Setting the Parity
Parity checks the validity of data entering the printer. The parity bit immediately follows
the last data bit for a character. The parity bit is adjusted according to the parity so the
data bits in the character, with the parity bit, form an odd or even number when summed.
Select To
None Set the parity to none (no parity check).
Odd Set the parity to odd.
Even Set the parity to even.
Setting the Data Bits
Data bits specify how many bits the printer uses to define a character.
Select To
7 Set the word length to seven.
8 Set the word length to eight.
Setting the Stop Bits
A stop bit follows the data and parity bits to signal the end of a character.
Select To
1 Set the stop bit length to one.
2 Set the stop bit length to two.

Setting Communications 4-3
Using Ethernet Communications
The printer communicates on a 10baseT or 100baseTX wired Ethernet connection.
The Ethernet options are listed in the table below.
Option Choices Default
Status View only None – view only
Configure DHCP/Static IP DHCP
Use the Printer Management Utility to configure the Ethernet settings. See “Configuring
Ethernet Settings” for more information.
Viewing the Ethernet Settings
Select Status from the Ethernet menu to view the current Ethernet settings.
The viewable Ethernet settings include MAC Address, IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Default Gateway. The Media Access Control (MAC) Address is a hard-coded value that
cannot be changed (like a serial number).
Configuring Ethernet Settings
1. Select Configure from the Ethernet menu to change the Ethernet settings.
2. Select either DHCP or Static:
Static Use if your network uses a fixed configuration. The IP address remains the
same every time the device connects to the network. For static, you must
set an IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway. See “Entering a
Static IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway” for more information.
DHCP The network automatically assigns an IP address within a specified range to
a device when it is first turned on. A device could have a different IP
address every time it connects to the network.
3. Select Yes to save the DHCP setting. The printer reboots and establishes a
connection. Or, press No to exit without saving.

4-4 Offline Mode System Administrator’s Guide
Entering a Static IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway
The IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique identifier for a device on a network. It
consists of four 3-digit numeric fields, separated by periods.
IP networks are divided using subnet masks. The subnet mask address determines
where the IP address belongs in the network. It consists of four 3-digit numeric fields.
The default gateway (or router) allows connections (communications) between different
subnets on a network. It consists of four 3-digit numeric fields.
To set the static IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway:
1. Use the buttons as shown below:
Select To
Navigation button: or Selects which position to change.
Navigation button: or Increase or decrease the number.
2. Press Select when finished entering the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default
Gateway.
3. Press Yes to save the settings. The printer reboots and establishes a connection.
Or, press No to exit without saving.
