Troubleshooting” on page 237.

printer:
•Enter the LPR command on the iSeries command line with
the appropriate parameters. See “To Use LPR Manually”
on page 229.
•Enter
STRRMTWTR name
on the iSeries command line,
where

is the name of the iSeries remote output
queue (not the printer Internet queue, as described on

iSeries ASCII Troubleshooting
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.
