RESTRICTED USE ONLY Fargo Electronics, Inc.HDP600 High Definition Card Printer/Encoder User Guide (Rev. 2.3) 5-3IntroductionThe Ethernet option includes the Ethernet port and the internal Printer Server. Printer Management: The Printer Driver provides bi-directional status information soyou can monitor and manage the Printer just as you would any other networked Printer. Compatibility: The Fargo Ethernet option provides compatibility with TCP/IP and 802.3Ethernet protocols with an IEEE 802.3 10/100Base-T Ethernet female RJ45 connector. Application: With the Ethernet Option properly installed and configured, these Printersare able to print in the same manner as a Printer directly connected to the PC via a USBinterface.Technical Specification - Ethernet OptionHere are the system requirements for Ethernet.Caution: For safety purposes, Ethernet is not intended for a direct connectionoutside of the building.Function RequirementNetwork An IEEE 802.3 10/100 Base-T Ethernet network is required.Printer A Fargo Printer with the Ethernet option installed is required.PrinterConfigurationSince TCP/IP is used for the network communication, the Printermust be configured with an IP address and a subnet mask (before itcan be seen on the network).An additional network setting for the Default Gateway can also beconfigured, which allows communication across the subnets.Host Computer A PC running Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003 connected to thenetwork is required.Host PrinterDriverThe host PC must have installed the correct Printer Driver withEthernet support. (Note: This Driver must be configured for printingto the IP address of the Printer.)
