4. Plug in the PrintConnect power supply to the connector on the back of the
PrintConnect device.

will display the message:
6. Press the ? key on the PrintValet. The second line of the PrintValet screen displays
the PrintConnect device Configuration Key, a 12 character alphanumeric string.
Record the Configuration Key value.
Important! DO NOT unplug any USB or network cables when the PrintConnect is
powered up.
Note: The Configuration Key value is also printed on a label on the PrintConnect
packaging; however, it is important to try to acquire this value through the PrinValet,
as this method is a useful test of the network connection.
If you are unable to display the Configuration Key, it may be because the network
connection is faulty or that the PrintConnect can’t connect to your network. Verify
that the ethernet cable is sound and verify there is network activity.
If the cable is fine and there is network activity, then the PrintConnect has been
unable to connect to the network. You must configure the PrintConnect’s network
settings using a config file on a USB flash drive. For details on creating and
uploading the config file, see section 4.1.
Once you have live communication on the network and can successfully display the
Configuration Key value, continue with the following steps.
