Overview of the Ethernet Adapter
You can use three options to connect your Intermec printer to an
Ethernet network:
•The external Ethernet adapter, Part No. 068788, which is a plug-in
network adapter.
•The internal Ethernet adapters, Part Nos. 068789 and 069227,
which are installed in your printer.
You can connect only the external Ethernet adapter to the following
Intermec printers to print labels:
•91* printers •601XP printers
•301* printers •901* printers
•401* printers •4630* printers
•501*, 501E*, 501S*, and
501XP printers •7421 and 7422* printers
*These printer models require an external power supply to run the
external Ethernet adapter.
You can connect either the external or the internal Ethernet adapter Part
No. 068789 to the following Intermec printers to print labels:
•3240* printers
•3400* and 3440* printers
•3600* printers
•4400* printers
*These printer models require an external power supply to run the
external Ethernet adapter.
Note: For the 3240, 3400, 3440, 3600, and 4400 printers, you must
have the parallel port option installed on your printer to connect the
external Ethernet adapter. The Ethernet adapter is not compatible with
the 4400A, but you can use the adapter with all later 4400 models.
You can connect the internal Ethernet adapter Part No. 069227 to the
4420 and 4440 printers.
Note: With the internal Ethernet adapter installed, the parallel port on
the 4420 and 4440 printers is not available for use.

Connecting the External Ethernet Adapter
to Your Printer
Although you can connect the external Ethernet adapter to several
different Intermec printers, the illustrations in the following procedure
use the 7421.
To connect the Ethernet adapter
1. Note the serial number found on the underside of the Ethernet
adapter. You need this number during the configuration.
2. Turn off the printer.
3. Plug the parallel port connector into the printer’s parallel port.

6. Switch on the printer. The network LED flashes.
Now you can install the printer and adapter into your network.
To test the connection with firmware version 5.59 or higher
•Press the Test button. The printer prints a test label.
You can find out what firmware version you have using a standard Web
browser.
1. Open the Ethernet adapter’s home page.
2. Click the Management button.

To test the connection with a firmware version lower than 5.59
Note: Data Line Print mode is available on the following printer
models: 3240, 3400, 3440, 3600, 4400, 4420, and 4440.
1. Turn off your printer.
2. Press and hold the Feed/Pause button while you turn on the printer.
The printer prints the hardware configuration test label.
3. Release the Feed/Pause button. The printer is now in Data Line
Print mode.
4. Press and release the Test button on the Ethernet adapter. The
printer prints each character with its hexadecimal equivalent
underneath.
5. To enter normal Print mode, turn the printer power off and then on
again.
Downloading the IP Address
This section explains how to use ARP (address resolution protocol) to
download the IP address to the Ethernet adapter. For other methods of
downloading the IP address, see the Intermec Ethernet Adapter User’s
Manual (Part No. 068749).
Note: Do not use the example IP address when installing your Ethernet
adapter. Always consult your network administrator before assigning
an IP address.
To download the IP address for Windows
1. Start a DOSwindow.
2. Type the following command:
arp -s
nnn.nnn.n.nnn nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn
ping nnn.nnn.n.nnn
arp -d nnn.nnn.n.nnn
where:
nnn.nnn.n.nnn is the IP address for the Ethernet
adapter
nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn is the Ethernet address for the Ethernet
adapter

10
Example:
arp -s 192.168.3.191 00-40-8c-10-00-86
ping 192.168.3.191
arp -d 192.168.3.191
The host will return Reply from 192.168.3.191 ... or a
similar message. This reply indicates that the address has been set and
communications established.
To download the IP address in a UNIX environment
•Type the following command:
arp -s
host_name nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn temp
ping
host_name
where:
host_name is the name mapped to the Ethernet adapter’s
IP address.
nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn is the Ethernet address for the adapter.
Example:
arp -s npsname 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
ping npsname
The host will return npsname is alive or a similar message. This
message indicates that the address has been set and communications
established.
When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may
experience a longer response time than is usual.
The ARP command can vary between different UNIX systems.
Berkeley System Distribution (BSD) type systems expect the host name
and node address in reverse order. Furthermore, IBM AIXsystems
require the additional argument ether. For example:
arp -s ether
host name 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
