Printer?
functioning properly.
Select Info, then select Next several times until the IP address
is shown.
Can I print from my PC to
multiple Ethernet Printers?
Choose “Local printer…” unless a shared network printer is to
be installed on a print server.
Use the Windows “Add Printer Wizard” to create a printer
instance to communicate to the printer at the new IP address.
If the printer port is not listed as an existing port then a new
“HDPii TCP/IP Card Printer Port” must be created and
configured to communicate to the printer at the proper IP
address.
See the appropriate Windows documentation for additional help.
Can multiple PC’s print to my
Ethernet Printer?
Yes. Each PC must install the Printer Driver software for the
specific Fargo Ethernet-enabled Printer and connect to the
intended Printer, using the correct IP address.
Can I print from my PC to an
Ethernet Printer on a
different network segment?
Yes. If you know the IP address of the Printer on any segment
of your network, you will be able to print to it.
Can I use Fargo IP-Tracer to
locate Printers on a different
network segment?
No. The IP-Tracer can only locate Fargo-compatible Printers
located in the same network segment (as the PC running IP-
Tracer).
How do I upgrade the Printer
Firmware in my Ethernet-
enabled Printer?

Printer Utility.

How do I upgrade the Print
Server Firmware for my
HDPii Printer?
Since the Print Server is integrated into the main print Firmware
on the HDPii, there is not a separate Firmware upgrade for the
Printer Server. (Note: Therefore, the upgrades are done with
the main Printer Firmware.)
