Chapter 2 Configuration Tools

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.
