When there is a primary server in the local network

Even if a primary server is installed on the local network, an unnecessary dial-up may be generated depending on the configuration.

The following problems are common to both Print Server mode and Remote Printer mode.

❏When the power is turned on

Since access is made only to the primary server, no dial-up is generated.

❏When the print server is not correctly set

Since access is made only to the primary server, no dial-up is generated. However, if the file server/print server of the remote network is erroneously set as the primary server, an unnecessary dial-up might be generated. Correct the settings to avoid this problem.

❏During normal operation (standby/printing)

Since access is made only to the primary server, no dial-up is generated.

❏When the primary server is down during operation

Connection to the primary server is periodically attempted, but no dial-up is generated. However, if the router is set to pass SAP packets (Find Nearest Server), an unnecessary dial-up might be generated. To avoid this, turn off the printer once, or do not allow the router to pass SAP packets (Find Nearest Server).
