4. Always print an Ethernet Adapter test page before performing
any updates or network configuration using the following steps:
For 6500-v
printers:a. Press STOP to take the printer offline. The printer is in the
NOT READY state.
b. Press RETURN + ENTER simultaneously to unlock the
printer menu.
c. Press MENU to display OPERATOR MENU.
d. Press ↑ Scroll/Micro until “OPERATOR PRINT TESTS”
displays, then press ENTER.
e. Press ↑ Scroll/Micro until the following displays:
“ETHERNET TEST PAGE” for the integrated or wireless
Ethernet.
“ADAPTER TEST PAGE” for the Ethernet Adapter.
f. Press ENTER.
5. Verify the current Ethernet Interface firmware version number.
NOTE: Firmware exists within the Ethernet Interface and the
printer itself. Each firmware is a separate entity with its own
version number. Please pay close attention to the type of
firmware referenced in the remaining sections of this
document.
The Ethernet Interface version should be 1.1.3 or higher for
10/100Base-T Ethernet adapters. If the Ethernet Interface
version is current, skip to step 6 below. If the Ethernet Interface
version is not current, you need to update both the Ethernet
Interface and printer firmware.
If you need to update the printer firmware, you must do so now.
After the update is complete, you must restart this instruction
from the beginning. To upgrade the printer firmware, contact
your IBM service representative.
