- Locate the Ethernet port on the printer, typically located on the back or side of the device.
- Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the printer.
- Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an available LAN port on your network router or switch.
- Power on the printer; if the printer is connected to the network, it shows the network status in green.
5. Calibrate
- Press the Calibration button(Feed8).
- After entering calibration mode, the printer will feed one/two labels and measure the label length.
- Once the label has been fed, the printer will pause briefly.
The printer will then measure the label length and adjust the sensor accordingly
