Connecting the Printer to Your Computer
You can connect your printer to your computer wirelessly or using the included USB cable. See the
following sections for details:
•Setting Up the Printer Using USB
•Setting Up the Printer for Wireless Use
Setting Up the Printer Using USB
After downloading and installing the software, connect the power to the printer (see Connecting
the Power) and attach the USB cable to your computer.
1. Plug the USB cable into the USB connector located on
the back of the printer.
2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into an available USB
port on your computer.
In less than a minute, Windows starts installing the
necessary driver to print to your printer. Once the
installation is complete, you will be able to print your first
label.
Next, see Getting to Know the Label Cartridge to learn more about the Leitz Icon Intelligent
Label Cartridges.
Setting Up the Printer for Wireless Use
In order to use your printer via a wireless connection, the following two discrete steps are required:
1. Connect the printer to your network.
2. Add the printer to your computer and install the printer driver.
On initial setup, and later, in the absence of a recognized network, your printer will switch to what is
known as "Soft AP" mode, where the printer creates it's own Wi-Fi network for wireless printing.
When connecting your printer to an existing network, you will use Soft AP mode to connect to the
printer and select the home or office network to which you want the printer to be attached. Later, if
you move the printer to another location where the network is not available, the printer will switch
back to Soft AP mode so you can connect to it and print using its own broadcast network.
Connecting the Printer to Your Network
1. On your computer, search for available wireless networks.
For information on searching for wireless networks, see the documentation for your computer.
2. From the list of available networks, select your Printer ID.
The Printer ID is formatted as ICON-xxyyzz and can be found on the label on the bottom of
your printer.
3. Click Join or Connect.
4. Once connected, start a web browser on your computer.
5. In the address bar, type 192.168.1.1 and then press Enter.
6. Enter your user name and password in the User name and Password boxes.
The default user name and password are as follows.
User name: admin
Password: password
You can change this user name and password at any time; see the Leitz Icon Printer User
Guide for more information.
7. Click OK.
The Leitz Icon Control Panel is displayed.
8. Click Wi-Fi Setup Wizard.
9. Click Connect to Existing Network.
The Select Your Wireless Network page is displayed.
10.Select your wireless network in the Available Networks list.
11.If prompted, enter your network password and then click OK.
12.Click Next.
The Connection Settings page is displayed with the most common, default setting selected.
13.Unless you are performing an advanced installation needing a specific static IP address,
click Next to use the default settings.
14.On the Confirm & Connect page, click Connect.
As the printer connects to the selected network, you may hear a noise as the printer resets. At
the same time, the wireless connection from your computer to the printer is dropped and you
will need to reconnect your computer to your wireless network.
15.Close the Leitz Icon Control Panel.
NOTE Software installation must be complete before connecting the printer to your computer.
NOTE If the label on the bottom of your printer does not contain the Printer ID, you can determine the
Printer ID using the printer’s MAC address. In this case, the Printer ID is formatted as ICON-
xxyyzz, where xxyyzz is the last six characters of your printer’s MAC address (found on the label
on the bottom of your printer). For example, if your printer’s MAC address is
MAC:00:1E:CO:13:13:A5, the Printer ID is ICON-1313A5.

Getting to Know the Label Cartridge
Leitz Icon Intelligent Label Cartridges are easy to load into the printer and are recyclable*. Each
cartridge has a folding label guide that opens to load and print labels and closes to protect labels
during storage. The Intelligent Label Cartridge uses a special cartridge identification chip to relay
information about the label cartridge, such as the type and size of the labels, the capacity of the
label cartridge, and the number of labels remaining, to the software.
*Intelligent Label Cartridges may not be recyclable in your area.
NOTE If more than one Leitz Icon version appears in the Printers list, select the one with the most
recent date.
