ETHERNET INFORMATION
Connectivity solutions are becoming increasingly important –even critical in
some business situations. Monarchoffers an internal Ethernet connectivity
solution. This connectivity solution makes it easy to set up, manage, and
monitor a Monarch9840printer linked to an Ethernet connection. You
must use the 9840 printer (version 6.5 firmware or greater).
There are two versions of the internal Ethernet solution: Type CN and Type
ES. The location of the Status Indicator tells you which version you have.
The Status Indicator is below the reset button on our newest Ethernet
solution. You configure the print server in different ways according to which
version you have.
See the following page for set-up and configuration information.

Setting Up the Print Server
These instructions apply to either Ethernet version (CN or ES).
The MonarchPrint Server (Ethernet) is extremely easy to set up. To use
the Ethernet print server, upper DIP switch 8 must be turned ON. This
enables the bi-directional communication.
Do not plug any cables into the parallel port when using
the Ethernet port.
A printer with an Ethernet port cannot use the parallel port. However, the
serial port is still active.
Configuring the Print Server
For the CN version of the Ethernet printer server:
Once hooked up with the printer, the print server is configured with the
commonly used HP Jet Adminor HP Web JetAdminsoftware. The print
server is designed for compatibility with third party administration software.
Check with your System Administrator for details about configuring the
Ethernet print server.

For the ES version of the Ethernet printer server:
The print server provides multiprotocol capabilities for users with Windows
NT, TCP/IP, and NetWare.The print server may need to be configured
before you can use it. Software is available on Monarch’s Web site
(www.monarch.com)to configure the print server or you can order part
number TC9840ENCD for the MonarchNetUtilities compact disc. It can
also be configured using HP Jet Adminor HP Web JetAdminsoftware. A
Technical Reference Manual, which includes additional Ethernet set-up and
configuration information, is also available on our Web site. You can also
order part number TC9800ENTR for a printed copy of the Technical
Reference Manual.
When turning on the printer or after sending a ^PR
(printer reset) immediate command, wait at least eight (8)
seconds before sending data to the print server. Any
data sent to the print server before the 8-second interval
may be lost.
Printing a Configuration Label
These instructions only apply to the ES version of the Ethernet print
server.
Configuration information prints automatically if the Ethernet print server
senses a hardware error. To print configuration information on demand, press
the Test button on the side of the Ethernet print server unit or use the
configuration utility provided for your network operating system.
The configuration label prints in MPCL format.
The configuration label is best displayed using
4” wide by 6” long labels. If the label is too small, some
information may print outside the label edges. See the
following page for a sample configuration label.
