Question Answer
How do I configure my
Printer’s IP settings?
• By default, the Printer is configured for dynamic IP
address assignment. That is, it will try to get its IP
address and other settings from your network. If it is
given valid network settings, it will use them.
OR
• You can choose to configure the Printer, using a static
IP address and network settings. (Note: This can be
entered using the Network web page of the Printer or
the Fargo IP Tracer program.)
How do I choose a static
IP address for my Ethernet
Printer? You can use the web pages if you know the current IP
address. See the
Accessing the HDP5000 Home Page
procedure.
OR
You can use Fargo IP-Tracer which allows you to find
Fargo-compatible Printers and specify their addresses.
The HDP5000 also allows you to save the current network
settings as static settings via the LCD menu (Options:
Menu: Network Settings: Save Addresses).
(Note: You can save static addresses. However, they are
not used until you reconfigure the Printer to use those
static addresses and reboot the Printer.)
How do I set the Printer to
work with a static IP
address? You can use the web pages if you know the current IP
address.
• Select

the Network web page.
OR
• Use Fargo IP-Tracer, which allows you to find Fargo
compatible Printers and specify their addresses.
The HDP5000 also allows you to use the LCD menus to
