INDUSTRIAL PRINTER QUICK START GUIDE
NETWORK REQUIREMENTS
Markforged devices communicate on the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band. For assistance with setting up your network,
contact your internal IT team.
WIRED CONNECTIONS
Ethernet connection must utilize cables less than 30 meters in length.
FIREWALL SETTINGS
Markforged products support DHCP only; there is no support for static IP addresses. If a static IP is needed, the
network’s DHCP server should be configured with a “reservation” or static host entry assigning the desired IP
address to the printer’s MAC address; to find the printer’s MAC address, see
Connecting Your Printer
, above.
For proper operation, printers must be able to make outbound connections to services at the following
hostnames on the given ports (no inbound connections are needed):
