Connecting the Print Server to the Printer
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn the printer off.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the printer. (Interrupt
power supply)
3. Connect the printer and the print server using the USB data
cable. (If necessary, disconnect the USB data cable from the
computer prior to that.)

In order to verify the installation you can print a status page. To do this, press the
print server's button for a short time.
A status page can only be printed if the printer supports the data formats ASCII,
PostScript, DATAMAX (label printer), or Citizen-Z (label printer).
Connecting the Print Server to the Network

1. Connect the network cable (RJ-45) to the print server.
2. Connect the power cord to the print server.
3. Connect the power cord to the printer.
4. Turn the printer on.

12 [en] Quick Installation Guide
Finding the Print Server in the Network
Once the print server is connected to the network, it checks whether an IP
address can be obtained from the boot protocols BOOTP or DHCP. If this is not
the case, the print server assigns itself an IP address via ZeroConf from the
address range (169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for ZeroConf.
The 'InterCon-NetTool' has been developed by SEH Computertechnik GmbH for
the administration of SEH print servers. By means of this tool you can find the
print server's IP address and, if necessary, assign a suitable IP address to the print
server, as described below.
’Installing and starting the InterCon-NetTool’ 12
’Finding the Print Server (Determining the IP Address)’ 13
’Changing the IP address’ 13
The client, printer and print server must be assigned to the same local network
segment.
Installing and starting the InterCon-NetTool
Proceed as follows:
1. Download the installation file for the InterCon-NetTool from the homepage
of the SEH Computertechnik GmbH:
http://www.seh-technology.com/services/downloads/
download-printserver-extern/ps03a.html
2. Start the InterCon-NetTool installation file.
3. Select the desired language.
4. Follow the installation routine.
The InterCon-NetTool will be installed on your client.
5. Start the InterCon-NetTool on your client.
After the InterCon-NetTool was started, it searches the network for existing
devices and displays them in the 'device list'.

Quick Installation Guide [en] 13
Detailed information on how to use the InterCon-NetTool can be found in the
Online Help. To start the Online Help, select Help – Online Help from the menu
bar.
Finding the Print Server (Determining the IP Address)
All SEH print servers found in the network are displayed in the device list.
If the print server has received an IP address via the boot protocols BOOTP or
DHCP, you can identify it with the help of it's type designation. If you are using
several print servers of the same type, identify the print server using it's hardware
address. You can find the hardware address in the type plate at the bottom of the
print server; see: 2.
If the print server has assigned itself an IP address via ZeroConf from the address
range (169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for ZeroConf, it will be displayed in the
device list under the 'ZeroConf' filter. Assign a new IP address to the print server;
see: ’Changing the IP address’ 13.
Changing the IP address
Wizards facilitate the installation and configuration of network devices via the
InterCon-NetTool. The 'IP Wizard' is available for the print server. You can easily
enter the desired IP address and save it in the print server using the IP Wizard.
Make sure that:
- The InterCon-NetTool is installed and running; 12.
- You know the print server's current IP address; 13.
Proceed as follows:
1. Mark the print server in the device list.
The print server is displayed in the device list under the filter 'ZeroConf' with an IP
address from the address range (169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for ZeroConf.
2. Select Installation – IP Wizard.
The IP Wizard is started.
3. Follow the instructions of the IP Wizard.
The settings are saved.

Printing via the Print Server
The print server embeds non-network-ready printers into the network. In order to
print via the print server, the printers connected to the print server must be set
up as printers on the client system.
The printers can be set up in different operating systems.
’Printing in Windows 10’ 14
