INSTALLATION
GUIDE
This guide explains how to install the
Ethernet LAN and WiFi Wireless LAN
cards in to your Citizen label printer.
You should consult your dealer or
distributor for more information if you
are not completely sure of how to
perform this operation.
Always turn off the power to the printer and remove
Caution the power cord before replacing the interface board.
Replacing the Interface Board
1. Remove the two screws that fix the bracket of the parallel interface board
to the printer. Then gently pull the interface board towards you. When
you do this, be careful not catch or damage the connecting cable. Do not
pull the cable too much as this could also cause damage.
2. Remove the connecting cable from the interface board and reconnect the
cable to the connector of the new interface board
3. Insert the interface board into the printer so that the connecting cable
does not catch on the printer. The new board is slightly larger than the
original board, so the interface cable will need to be tucked in carefully.
4. Use the two screws that you removed to re-fix the bracket in place.
Testing the Interface Board
5. To test the interface board’s correct operation, connect the power cord to
the printer, insert some standard media, preferably 4” x 4” labels (100mm
x 100mm), then switch on the power.
6. Briefly press the blue button (C) 2003 Citizen Watch Co Ltd

Configuring the Interface using Explorer
7. To configure the network board, you can use the “PrintServer Network
Tools” included on the CD supplied with the network board. However, the
easiest way to configure the board is to use a Web Browser, such as Internet
Explorer, running on a PC connected to the same network.
8. If you have a “DHCP Server” operating on your network (a system that
‘gives out’ network addresses to new equipment), you can easily find out
the address allocated to the printer by briefly press the blue button visible
on the network board’s bracket. This will generate the “network self-test
page”, shown on the previous page.
9. On the self-test, under the TCP/IP section, there will be a line saying “IP
address” together with four groups of digits separated by dots. It should
also say “asigned by DHCP” next to it.
10.Start “Internet Explorer” or a similar web browser on a PC connected to
the same network. When entering this network address, you should remove
the ‘leading zeros’ on the address.
So the sample above would become
“192.168.0.65”, which is typed in
to the address bar.
11. To ‘force’ a new IP address for the
printer, click on the TCPIP menu
under the configuration section.
Type in the new address in the ‘IP
address’ line and adjust any other
parameters. It is also very
important that you untick the
DHCP bo boxx, otherwise the printer
will continue to take its address from the DHCP server, rather than using
the new address you typed in.
