Enter STRRMTWTR name on the iSeries command line, where name is the name of the iSeries remote output queue (not the printer Internet queue, as described on “To Create An Automatic Remote Output Queue” on page 231).

During power up, the printer performs an interface hardware test. The presence of the ETHERNET PARAMS menu selection at the printer control panel indicates that the Ethernet Interface hardware is functioning properly. See the User's Manual for configuration menu information.

If you have trouble pinging the printer:

1.Verify the configuration of the iSeries, including the printer and any intervening devices such as routers and bridges.

2.Verify that the iSeries line description is varied on and the printer is turned on and displays an ONLINE status.

3.Verify that the iSeries TCP/IP is active.
