Unable to Print
If you are having problems printing, verify that there is communication between the
10/100 Internal PS and the printer. Suggestions include the following:
• Ping the printer to determine the ability to communicate with the printer. See Ping the
Printer.
• Or open a Telnet session and send a ZPL command to print a configuration label. See
Teln et on page 85 for more information.
• Check obvious error conditions such as head open, out of media, out of ribbon, etc.
• If problems persist, contact Technical Support.
Ping the Printer

1. Open a DOS window.
To open a DOS window, click on Start > Run.

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the print server
