6.1. Manually Setting a Temporary IP Address
You can use the following procedure to set a temporary IP address for a TSP100LAN printer. Use of a
temporary address will allow you to connect to a printer that does not yet have an IP address setting.
1.
Open a Command Prompt window.
At the Windows Start menu, select
[All Programs]
[Accessories]
click
[Command Prompt]
.
(If using Windows 10,
[All Apps]
[
Windows
System
]
click
[Command Prompt]
.)
2. At the command prompt, use the
arp
command to set a temporary IP address and a MAC address.
Use the following commands to set the temporary IP address for the printer.
1
.
arp -d
printer's_temporary_IP_address
2
.
arp -s
printer's_temporary_IP_address
printer's_MAC_address
3
.
ping
printer's_temporary_IP_address
4
.
arp -d
printer's_temporary_IP_address
How to find your printer's MAC address
You can find your printer's MAC address on the test print sheet. MAC address is listed under "Network
Configuration" on that sheet. To print a test sheet, turn on the printer while holding the Feed button.
Notes:
The temporary IP address that you set here will be cleared when the printer's power is
switched off. You should therefore immediately proceed to set a regular IP address for the
printer.
Example:
To set a temporary IP address of 192.168.32.55
arp -d 192.168.32.55
arp -s 192.168.32.55 00-11-62-00-03-4D
ping 192.168.32.55
arp -d 192.168.32.55
