How to Change the Ethernet connection from Static to DHCP or vice versa (Eddie/LX3000).
All changes to the Ethernet setup can be made using the original installer program.
Click the button for "Software for PC" on this page:
Tip: Run the installer on a PC without the printer driver installed or remove the Eddie/LX3000 driver first.
During the initial software setup, you may connect via USB or
Ethernet. Depending on what you choose,
different options will appear in the setup application. The instructions below explain how to install
via Ethernet. Before continuing, connect
only the Ethernet cable to your printer.
(You cannot connect both the USB cable and Ethernet)
1. If you choose Ethernet, the installer will automatically search
your network for the printer using the most common IP address range for simple
networks (10.10.10.1-254 and 192.168.1.1-254).
The IP address is the unique identifier that your network will
automatically assign to the Eddie/LX3000 when you connect it to your router or wall jack.
2. If no printers are found, you will
be able to adjust the IP address you are searching for – IP Range to Sweep. In this example, we are searching for
10.10.8-11.1-254. It is searching for 1,016
IP addresses. There are 4 digits to any
IP address that can equal 0-254. The
dash in the 3rd and 4th digit indicates that the
installer will search between 8 and 11.
This means it will search for 8, 9, 10, or 11. In the 4th digit, the installer
will search for 1 through 254. To search a static IP, simply type in the IP of the printer.
3. This printer was found on
10.10.11.46. Once it is found, click
Install to install the printer driver.
You can verify the printer found is the one you expect by checking the
serial number displayed. If the printer
is not found, make sure you see lights Green and Amber lights on the ethernet
port on the back of the printer. If no
lights are present, you may have a defective cable or a defective port on your
printer or router/wall jack.
If you do not see the option to Install, this may be due to the printer being previously installed with another network port.
To fix this, close the Primera Installer, then remove the printer from your printers folder using the instructions in this article.
In addition, go to the "Print Server Properties" dialog mentioned in Step 4, of the article, go to the "Ports" tab, then find and delete any IP addresses that the printer was previously installed on.
Start the installer again and proceed as before, you will now see the "Install" button when you get to the screen above.
4. Choose the new connection method you would like to install. It will only take a few moments to install the driver.
For full network installation instructions, see page 15 of the User's Manual.
