About the LabelWriter Print Server

Congratulations on purchasing a DYMO LabelWriter print server. Your print server will give you years of reliable service. We encourage you to take a few minutes to review how to use and care for your print server.

Using the print server, you can connect your LabelWriter 400 or later series printer directly to your network, without dedicating a computer to printer sharing. Now everyone connected to your network can print to a single LabelWriter printer. We have no doubt that the LabelWriter print server will make your job easier and more efficient.

Print Server Features

Your LabelWriter print server can be used to share any LabelWriter 400 or later series printer, including the LabelWriter Twin Turbo and LabelWriter Duo.

The print server connects to your network using a standard Ethernet connection.

Become familiar with the major components of the print server.

DYMO LabelWriter Print Server Control Center LW Print Server - 10.216.2.154

Configuring the Print Server

When you first install the print server, the server is automatically assigned an IP address. Every time the software is launched, the IP address is displayed next to the server name in the Control Center window.

By default, the server is configured to automatically get an IP address. If you are using the print server on a small office or home network, we recommend that you configure the server to use a static IP address. This will ensure that the computers connected to your network will always be able to locate the print server.

By default, the static IP address for the print server is 192.168.1.100. You only need to change the last three numbers. When assigning a static IP address, check your router to be sure that the IP address you choose is not already in use. Refer to your router documentation for information on how to do this. A good practice when adding a print server or other shared network device to a network is to start with a number toward the top of the range, for example 192.168.1.250, and work down from there.

Note If you do not set a static IP address, write down the IP address that appears next to the server name in the Control Center window. You will need this IP address to add the printer to your computer.

To set a static IP address

1 If the Control Center is not already open, double-click on your desktop (Windows) or in the Applications folder (Mac OS).

2 Select a print server from the list, and click Configure Server on the toolbar. The Login to LW Print Server dialog box appears.

Login to LW Print Server Administrator : Password : Login Cancel

3 Enter the following in the Administrator and Password fields.

Administrator: admin

Password: admin

Note These are the default settings. See "Changing the Administrator Name and Password" on page 23 for information on how to change the administrator name and password.

4 Click Login.

The Set TCP/IP Configuration dialog box appears.

DYMO LabelWriter Print Server Control Center TCP/IP Set TCP/IP Configuration Current IP: 192.168.1.250 Automatically get IP by DHCP Static IP IP Address 192 168 1 250 Subnet Mask 255 255 255 0 Reset Apply Close

5 Select Static IP.

6 Enter the IP address you want to use in the IP Address field, and then click Apply.

7 Click Yes when prompted to save the TCP/IP configuration

8 After the server restarts, click Close to close the TCP/IP Configuration dialog box. The IP address is now displayed next to the server name in the Control Center window.

Note Write down this IP address; you will need this IP address to add the printer to your computer.

Next, you need to add the printer to your computer. See Chapter 3, Adding a Printer for information on adding the printer in your specific operating system.

Chapter 3

Adding a Printer

In order to print to the LabelWriter printer that is connected to the print server, you must first add the printer to your computer. You can add the printer to any or all of the computers connected to your network.

You must have the LabelWriter printer drivers installed on your local computer to add a printer. The printer drivers are included in the DYMO Label Software installation.

Note Because the LabelWriter Duo printer is actually two printers in one, you need to add both the label printer and the tape printer to your computer. These two printers show up separately in the printer list.

This chapter describes how to add a printer in Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac, and Linux.

- Reset the server to factory default settings.

Note The Print Server Web pages are only available in English.

3 Click 📋 Open Print Server Home Page (Windows) or 📋 Go to Home Page (Mac OS) on the toolbar.

Note You can also access the print server home page by entering the IP address for the print server in the address bar of your Web browser.

Viewing the Print Server Status

The print server status page displays the print server status and TCP/IP configuration.

To view print server status

- Click Status at the top of the Print Server home page.

Configuring the Server

From the Print Server Configuration page, you can change the server name and description, configure the IP address, change the administrator name and password, and perform maintenance on the print server.

To access the print server Configuration page

1 Click Config at the top of the Print Server home page.
2 Enter the following in the Administrator and Password fields, and then click Login. Administrator: admin Password: admin

Note These are the default settings. See "Changing the Administrator Name and Password" on page 23 for information on how to change the administrator name and password.

Changing the Server Name and Description

You can change the name and description of the print server. If you have more that one print server connected to your network, giving each server a distinct name or description makes it easy to distinguish between servers.

To change the server name and description

1 Click General Configuration on the left side of the Configuration page.
2 Enter a new name for the server in the Server Name field.
3 Enter a new description for the server in the Server Description field.

4 Click Submit.

The print server name and description are updated.

Changing the TCP/IP Configuration

You can configure the print server to obtain an IP address automatically or assign a static IP address that you choose.

If you are using the print server on a small office or home network, we recommend that you configure the server to use a static IP address. This will ensure that the computers connected to your network will always be able to locate the print server.

By default, the static IP address for the print server is 192.168.1.100. You only need to change the last three numbers. When assigning a static IP address, check your router to be sure that the IP address you choose is not already in use. Refer to your router documentation for information on how to do this. A good practice when adding a print server or other shared network device to a network is to start with a number toward the top of the range, for example 192.168.1.250, and work down from there.

To obtain an IP address automatically

1 Click General Configuration on the left side of the Configuration page.
2 Select Automatically get IP by DHCP.
3 Click Submit.

To assign a static IP address

1 Click General Configuration on the Configuration page.
2 Select Static IP.
3 Enter the IP address you want to use in the IP Address field.
4 Click Submit.

Changing the Administrator Name and Password

You can change the administrator name or password at any time. The administrator name and password are set to the following by default.

Administrator: admin

Password: admin

To change the administrator name and password

1 Click User Accounts on the left side of the Configuration page.
2 Enter a new administrator name in the New Administrator field.
3 Enter a new password in the New Password field.
4 Enter the password again in the Retype Password field, and then click Submit. The administrator name and password are now updated.

Upgrading the Firmware

You can upgrade your print server whenever new firmware becomes available.

We recommend that you only upgrade the firmware if you are instructed to do so by a DYMO Technical Support representative or if you are experiencing a problem that has been identified as a firmware issue.

This section describes how to upgrade the firmware for your print server.

To upgrade the server firmware

1 Click Maintenance on the left side of the Configuration page.
