—  When using the printer from an operating system with permissions, such as Windows XP, 2000, or NT, 

users must have the same permissions as for a locally attached printer. 

You can connect a CP60 Card Printer using a print server if you choose. See 

 for details about supported print servers, additional equipment that might be needed, and how to 

install the printer using a print server. 

Prepare the printer for installation

Make sure you have done the following to prepare the printer:

Load print ribbon. See 

Load cards. See 

Power on the printer. See 

. 

—  If the printer was previously installed on a network, it might take a few moments for the printer to initialize. 

—  If you power on the printer, if the Address Mode is DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol), and if the 

printer is not connected to a network, the IP Address will be blank. You can change the Address Mode to 
Static IP, or you can connect it to a DHCP network after power on and wait a moment while the printer 
obtains an IP Address. 

View the LCD panel to make sure that the printer has powered on correctly. See 

.

Make a printer test card. See 

. 

Work with network support personnel to understand whether the network uses DHCP or static IP addressing. 
If it uses static IP addressing, obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address from network 
support personnel. (You can also use the default IP address in the printer.) DHCP is the printer default. 

When you have successfully completed these steps, continue with installing the printer on a network.
