Using CADlink Software with Chinese DTF Printers Over a Network or Ethernet Connection  

Some Chinese DTF printers are designed to send print data (PRN files) to 127.0.0.1 on port 9100. This means the printer directs data back to the same computer it’s connected to.

To ensure proper functionality, install CADlink v11 Digital Factory on the same computer running the printer’s control software.

Setting Up CADlink v11 Digital Factory 

1. Select TCP/IP as the port type.
2. Enter 127.0.0.1 as the IP address.
3. Use 9100 as the port number.

A small helper program will then intercept the PRN file and send it to the printer from the same machine.Check the images below on where on Cadlink you could perform this:
