INTELLIscribe and Epilog laser engraver
Epilog LaserSince 1988 Epilog Laser has been developing and manufacturing laser systems that feature many of the industry's "firsts". Epilog is always on the cutting edge of laser technology, creating better, stronger, longer-lasting laser systems.

All you need is an IP address and you can do the design work from home and engrave at your office. Or, you can send the same file/engraving job to different locations...at the same time. INTELLIscribe is used in conjunction with many types of laser engravers, making INTELLIscribe a flexible, easy laser engraver application!

Printing to the Legend Using the Network Connection

There are several different methods that you can use to print over the network to the Legend. This document describes how to set up the Legend to work with the network connection on your Windows PC(s).

Configuring INTELLIscribe to print to an Epilog Legend Engraver

See the quick-start instructions to begin setting up INTELLIscribe, and refer to the instructions below for specifics on configuring your Epilog Legend Engraver.

The "Queue name" parameter in the final step of the "Add Virtual Printer Port" Wizard is "Legend".

The default IP address configured in the Epilog Legend engravers is "192.168.98.1" and the subnet mask is "255.255.255.0". If you are initially configuring a network consisting of only the engraver and one other PC, then your PC's IP address should be similar, such as 192.168.98.2, but not the same. You cannot use an IP address in this class(C) with a zero (0) as the last digit. The subnet mask must be identical.
