Cognitive Solutions Advantage RFID Thermal Printer - Manual (Page 73)

P R O G R A M M I N G
READY Light is Red
Make sure that the printhead is latched down tightly on both sides.
If the printer feeds out multiple blank labels, it will need to be
calibrated. Refer to Chapter 6, Maintenance and Calibration , for
calibration instructions.
Make sure that you have the correct power supply for your printer.
Blaster and Advantage model printers use a 19VAC output power
supply; Del Sol and Solus model printers have a 24VAC output power
supply. The output voltage is printed on the power supply.
Setting Up an Ethernet Printer
First, connect the printer to a PC via the parallel or serial port (see
parallel or serial port setup). Do NOT connect the Ethernet cable at this
time.
Type in the following commands from a Dos Editor or from Notepad on
your computer:
! 0 0 0 0 (Must use zero; space between each character)
VARIABLE ETHERNET IP xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx
VARIABLE NETMASK xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx
VARIABLE GATEWAY xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx
VARIABLE ETHERNET RESET
END
Send this file to the printer by going to File->Print. The printer will not
print anything, but the ready light will blink off and on. When you have
a solid Green ready light, cycle the power on the printer.
NOTE: If using a Unix/Linux system, you will need to create a text file in an
editor, then print or copy the file to the printer.
Next, disconnect the parallel or serial cable and connect the Ethernet.
You should now be able to ping the printer.
NOTE: The parallel or serial cable and the Ethernet cable should NOT be
connected to the printer at the same time.
