Installing Print Client

Step 1. Connect the printer to the device

The printer can be connected to the PC via Network or USB. Network method is generally more reliable, and therefore preferred if possible.

If you connecting a Printronix printer to a Mac, you must connect the printer via network. macOS does not support Printronix printers via USB connection.

Network method

If connecting via network, use the provided CAT6 cable, or a network cable of your own, to attach the printer to your network.

The printer must be on the same subnet as the host PC in order to be detected by the Print Client.

USB method

If connecting via USB, plug the provided USB cable into your PC and printer. The USB-A connector should be plugged into the PC, while the USB-B connecter should be plugged into the printer:

Last, for the USB method, you'll need to change the Host I/O setting on the printer to USB.
