note:SyncThru Web Service is not an application install on the PC; it is a web based control panel for the printer. To use SyncThru the PC must be on the same network as the printer.
To open SyncThru, follow these steps:
-
Obtain the current IP address of the printer.
- If the printer has a LCD panel on the front, navigate to Menu > System Setup > Reports > Network Configuration and print the network configuration page to find the current IP.
- If the printer does not have a front LCD panel, hold down the Stop, Cancel, or WPS button until the status LED begins a fast blink. This will cause the printer to print a configuration page. If the printer prints a demo page or a supplies info page, then the button was held down too long or too short.
