How can I connect Multiple LX Series, Eddie, or IP60 printers to my PC at the same time?

This article applies to the following products: LX500, LX600, LX610, LX910, LX3000, LX4000, IP60 and Eddie connected to a PC only.  It is not possible to easily connect multiple printers to a Mac.

You can install multiple printers to the same computer and use them simultaneously. To do so you will need to change the USB serial number identifier of one of the two printers, two of three printers, three of four printers etc. To change serial numbers:

1. Open Primera PrintHub. Go to the Printer Settings Tab. Click Advanced Settings. The USB Serial Number section is the first item on the list.

2. Connect each new Printer one at a time separately. Do not connect them both at the same time yet.  The current USB Serial Number will be displayed.

3. If both serial numbers are the same, click Generate. It will find the next available USB Serial Number based on the currently connected printer(s). For the first one it should set it to 2 and for the next printer 3 and so on.

4. Click Set. You will hear the Printer reset and the settings window will turn gray. After it resets you will be able to see the settings window again. Keep the Printer connected.

5. Now you can connect the next Printer. Windows will automatically install a new driver for that new Printer and name it Color Label <printer name> (Copy 1).  You can rename it later by editing the printer properties in the Windows printer list.

6. You will now see a second printer appear in the left column – Color Label <printer name> (Copy 1). Click on it to display information about this Printer. If this is the last Printer, you will connect you are done. If you wish to connect additional printers, follow steps 3-5.
