Enabling Adhoc Mode:
 Note: The following example uses the DMXConfig software utility to configure the printer. On printers equipped
with a display, the same settings can be changed using the printer’s menu system via the front panel under 
COMMUNICATIONS > NIC ADAPTER. 
 
1. Connect the host to the printer with a serial or 
parallel cable.
 
2. Turn on the printer. 
 
3. Launch the DMXConfig utility. Query the printer by 
using the Query Printer toolbar button (top-left). This 
will connect to the printer and get the current printer 
settings. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
4. Next select the Communications tab. Select WLAN 
AdHoc, SSID = “Unique” and then click the button to 
the right. The printer will now reset itself and be 
configured to the following settings: 
 
Wireless Mode: Enabled 
IP: 192.168.10.26 
SSID: MAC Address of the printer (unique value for 
each printer, listed on the Network Report Label). 
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 
Gateway: 192.168.10.26 
BSS: 192.168.10.1 (this is the IP of the radio card 
and is not to be used for data transfer) 
 
 
Once the previous steps have been successfully completed you may now return to Step 2 in section, Network Card 
Setup - Wireless (Adhoc Mode).
