Chapter 7 AS/400 ASCII Troubleshooting

AS/400 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 NIC 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 AS/400, including the printer and any intervening devices such as routers and bridges.

2.Verify that the AS/400 line description is varied on and the printer is turned on and displays an ONLINE status.

3.Verify that the AS/400 TCP/IP is active.
