approach for using the paper feed button to configure the printer , please refer to Appendix A
“Parameter Setting by FEED Button ”.
4.7 Ethernet IP Address Configuration
ReceiptNow printers that have an Ethernet interface are factory configured for a default IP address
of 192.168.1.251. Changes to the unit’s default IP address or to set the unit for DHCP mode can be
done by communicating with the unit via a web browser set to the d efault IP address as shown in the
screen shot below. The web browser utility can also provide printer and interface status.
The current IP address of the printer can be determined by powering on the printer while holding the
feed button down which will ca use the printer to print out a test form which lists various hardware and
communication interface parameters.
If the printer does not appear to respond to the proper IP address, the most likely cause is that the
printer is not currently configured in a ma nner that is compatible with the network to which it is
connected. Check with your network system administrator to insure that the settings for ‘DHCP’,
‘Gate Way’ and ‘IP Address’ are compatible with the network
