Setting Up Your Printer

Before labels can be printed from RedBeam, the printer must be connected to a network and the IP address will need to be configured within RedBeam.

1. Once you have tags loaded into your printer, connect a network cable to the rear of the printer.

2. Connect the other end of the network cable into an available port on your network.

3. Plug your power adapter into the rear of the tag printer and plug the power cable into an available AC outlet. 

4. Power the tag printer on by pressing and holding the power button for about 5 seconds and then release the power button.

5. Once the tag printer has finished powering on, press and hold the Feed and Cancel buttons for two seconds and then release.  This will print out a configuration page as shown below.  Please note that by default, a new tag printer will obtain an IP address via DHCP.
