September 2018 59PLT-02931, Rev. A.0 Printing preferences3.3.3 Sending track informationMagnetic track data is sent in the form of text strings from the application software to the printer driver.The printer driver must be able to differentiate between magnetic track data and the rest of the printable objects, specific characters must be added to encode the magnetic data. These characters specify the data that is to be encoded, the tracks to encode, and marks the start and stop of the data string. In some cases, these specific characters are automatically added to the string of track data by ID software applications.In most cases the user must carefully add these characters to the string of data. If these characters are not added to the track data, the text intended for the magnetic track appears as printed text on the card. To avoid this, track information must be entered as described here.When entering track data, the ~ (tilde) character is entered first, followed by the track number (1, 2 or 3) on which the data should encode. This is followed by the data to be encoded.The first character of this data string must be the track's specific Start Sentinel (SS) and the last character must be the specific End Sentinel (ES).The characters or data in between the SS and ES can include all of the valid characters specific to each track.႑The number of these characters, however, is limited by each track's maximum character capacity. ႑When segmenting track data, the appropriate Field Separator (FS) must be used.

Section 5September 2018 875 Ethernet option5.1 IntroductionThe Ethernet option for the FARGO® HDP®6600 High Definition Card Printer/Encoder includes the Ethernet port and the internal printer server. Printer Management: The printer driver provides bi-directional status information so you can monitor and manage the printer just as you would any other networked printer. Compatibility: The Ethernet option provides compatibility with TCP/IP and 802.3 Ethernet protocols with an IEEE 802.3 10/100 Base-T Ethernet female RJ45 connector. Application: The Ethernet Option applies to the card printer/encoder. With the Ethernet option properly installed and configured, these printers are able to print in the same manner as a printer directly connected to the PC using a USB interface.Note: Any reference to a specific printer name is for demo purposes only. Your printer name varies according to what you are using. 5.2 Technical specificationThe system requirements for Ethernet are as follows: Caution: For safety purposes, Ethernet is not intended for a direct connection outside the building.Function RequirementNetwork An IEEE 802.3 10/100 Base-T Ethernet network is required.Printer A printer with the Ethernet option installed is required.Printer configuration Since TCP/IP is used for the network communication, the printer must be configured with an IP address and a subnet mask (before it can be seen on the network). An additional network setting for the default gateway can also be configured, which allows communication across the subnets.Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is also supported for auto configuration.

88 September 2018Ethernet option PLT-02931, Rev. A.05.3 Functional specificationThe Ethernet option includes the following features.Host computer ႑Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit)႑Windows 8 / 8.1 (32- and 64-bit)႑Windows 10 (32- and 64-bit)႑Windows Server 2008 R1 (32- and 64-bit)႑Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit only)႑Windows Server 2012႑Windows Server 2012 R2 ႑Windows Server 2016 Host printer driver The host PC must have installed the correct printer driver with Ethernet support. Note: This driver must be configured for printing to the IP address of the printer.Feature DescriptionSimultaneous printing Print simultaneously from multiple PCs to the network printer.Printer feedback Status information from the network printer to the PC.Web pages Easy printer configuration with any web browser.Password security Provides password security for admin user only.SNMP Provides an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent that supports MIB-II (Management Information Base, second version).Upgrades Support for firmware upgrades over the network.Troubleshooting Provides a Ping client for network troubleshooting.SSDP Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) is used to find the printers with an Ethernet connection on a local network.Function Requirement

September 2018 89PLT-02931, Rev. A.0 Ethernet option5.4 Network servicesThe Ethernet option provides the following services:႑Print server႑Web serverNote: Other services include a Ping client, address assignment, and printer discovery.5.4.1 Print serverThe print server provides printing services via the local area network (LAN) to the client PC (in the same way as a printer connected directly to a USB interface). The print server must be properly configured to provide this printing capability.႑The print server can queue up to eight client PCs while printing. Communications between each PC and the printer are implemented over a bi-directional TCP/IP interface. ႑All clients are able to send print jobs to the printer and monitor printer jobs and errors with the standard Windows printing system using the printer driver installed on their local PC. Therefore you know whether or not a print job has been successful, as well any problems that have been encountered while processing the print job. 5.4.2 Web serverAn HTTP service serves web pages that are the interface through which to configure the printer.The printer operates as a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent to allow a network administrator to support the network interface of the printer. Note: A standard host MIB-II is implemented to maximize the utility of the printer on the network.5.5 Ethernet web pagesUse the Ethernet web pages from your Ethernet-connected printer to view attributes about the printer.

A.05.6 TroubleshootingIf you are having trouble connecting to your Ethernet printer or printing to it, you should go through each of the following procedures.5.6.1 Accessing the IP address of the printerThe additional printer display menus for an Ethernet-enabled printers are provided to view its IP address. Follow these procedures to access the IP address of your printer.1. Switch on the printer.2. Ensure the printer is connected to the network.3. Wait up to one minute to allow the printer to configure the IP address.4. On the printer display, select > Info.5. Scroll through the messages until the IP address is displayed as a dotted quad number, i.e. 168.192.1.1.5.6.2 Verifying the printer connection1. Ensure the printer has a valid network connection.2. Verify that the printer has the green LED on solidly and that the amber LED is flashing with network activity.3. If the LEDs do not indicate connection, verify the network connection with another device. 4. If the connection is OK, then something may be wrong with the Ethernet option installation. 5.6.3 Verifying the printer IP address1. Check the printer display for a valid IP address (0.0.0.0 is not valid). ႑If the IP address is valid, go to Step 4. ႑If the IP address is not valid go to Step 2.2. If your network is using DHCP, then verify that the printer has not been configured to use a static address (unless you have a known, unused static IP address assigned to the printer).3. If you are using a static IP address, verify that there is no other device using the same address by removing your printer and sending a ping to the desired address. 4. If any device responds, then you must find a different available IP address.5. If the printer reports an IP address, verify that it matches subnet of the network where it is connected. 6. If your printer has DHCP disabled, then the static IP address may have been previously set for a different subnet.

$September 2018 101PLT-02931, Rev. A.0 Ethernet option5.6.4 Verifying that the PC can access the printer using the ping commandFollow these instructions to issue a ping command to the printer.1.
