Seaory S25 / S26 / S28 — Connect Over Ethernet on Windows and Mac

Seaory support · Setup

Your S-series printer has a network port next to the USB port. Once it is on your network, any Windows PC or Mac in the office can add it as a network printer and share it. No USB cable at the desk, no computer tied to the printer.

Time 5 min per computerDifficulty EasyYou need Ethernet cable, Seaory driver installer
Quick answer

Cable the printer to your router. Windows: run the Seaory driver setup, let the Configure Network Printer Tool find the printer, click Add Printer. Mac: Printers & Scanners → add by IP, address = the printer's IP followed by :5352, HP Jetdirect – Socket, Seaory driver.

Before you start

  • Plug an Ethernet cable from the port on the back of the printer into your router or switch, and power the printer on. The printer picks up an address from your network by itself.
  • Have the Seaory driver installer handy. It is on the USB drive that shipped with your Seaory printer. Windows uses the network tool built into the installer; Mac uses the driver it installs.

On Windows: let the Seaory tool find the printer

You do not add the printer by hand. The Seaory driver installer ends with a Configure Network Printer Tool that searches the network, shows every Seaory printer it finds, and adds the one you pick.

1
Run the Seaory card printer driver setup

On the last screen, Completing Seaory card printer driver Setup, click Finish. The Configure Network Printer Tool opens. Already have the driver installed? Run the setup again; it will take you to the same tool.

FAQ

01 Can I keep the USB cable connected too?
You can leave USB connected to one computer and use the network from the others. Each computer talks to the printer through whichever connection it was added with.
02 Can several computers share one printer?
Yes. That is the point of the network port. Add it on each computer with the steps above. If you run several Seaory printers, see How to Control Multiple Seaory Printers with Bodno.
03 Where do I get the Seaory driver?
It is on the USB drive that shipped with your printer. If you no longer have it, email support and we will send the current download link.
04 Why port 5352?
That is the port the Seaory S-series listens on for print jobs over the network. The Windows tool sets it for you; on a Mac you type it after the address.
