Star mC-Print3 - How to Set the IP address as Static

The concern about auto (dynamic) IP address mode is that the IP address will keep changing in case the router is disconnected.

This leads each time you face the issue to go to the cashier's devices page and update the printer's IP.

While having the IP address as static will ensure stability. 

Follow these steps to set the IP address as Static:

1. Enter the IP address of the printer in the browser, e.g. 192.168.0.100

2. Click login and Enter the username and password. 

Default Username: root
Default Password: public

3. After login, you can add a new password and click Submit.

4. Click IP Parameters.

5. Click Static.

6. Enter the following:

• IP Address, through this option, you will assign a new IP address for the printer:
  Enter the same IP address for the router, but you need to change the last number.
  For example, if the router IP is 192.168.0.1 (Click here to learn how to get the Router IP), you can have the printer IP as 192.168.0.X ; you can put on X any number between (2-254).
• Subnet Mask: Enter 255.255.255.0
• Default Gateway: Enter your router IP.

7. Click Submit.

8. Click Save.

9. Choose Configuration printing and click Execute.

By that, a Static IP address is assigned to the printer.

Notes:

• Make sure that the device you are using for this method, either IPad, PC, Laptop, or mobile, and the printers are connected to the same network.
• Usually, you can do the same steps for the rest of the printer model types with minor differences based on the printer brand.
• You can change the printer IP through these steps too.
