Settings Module

Introduction

The Settings Module allows you to review and change the date and time, network connection settings, user interface configurations, printer settings and, if installed, the Roll Media settings.

Date and Time Settings

  • Date - display only, cannot change the date

  • Time - change the time of day, if required and status of Daylight Savings Time

  • Time Zone - select the time zone for the printer location

Network Connection Settings

NOTE

Typically, DHCP is used to automatically obtain network settings. If "Use DHCP" is selected, the only thing you might want to change is the network name of the printer. The settings are displayed to troubleshoot possible network connection problems. One situation that would require changes is if your network does not use DHCP to automatically obtain network settings. In this case network settings have to be entered manually. If you don't know how to do this, bring in a network consultant to determine what the setting must be for the network (alternately, you can purchase a DHCP router for your network that will automatically supply the network settings).

  • Network Name

  • Printer Description

  • Network Adapter Name

  • MAC Address

  • Network Status

  • Use DHCP

  • IP Address

  • Subnet Mask

  • Default Gateway

  • [HTTPS proxy]

  • [HTTPS proxy authentication]

NOTE

A network name for the printer cannot consist of numeric characters only - it must be a mix of alpha-numeric characters.

If the Printer name is changed, the printer must be restarted for the change to take effect.

If any settings require a printer restart, a reminder will be displayed when that settings is selected.
