LAN EHTERNET INTERFACE

CHK TROUBLESHOOTING STEP

Ensure the interface has been correctly configured. Wait two minutes and run self-test to verify. If a test label does not print, there ma y be a hardware problem.

Ensure the serial cable meets specifications and is correctly connected at each end.

Ensure the cable and its ports are not defective.

Ensure that a faulty print server or other protocol related senarios are not creating a queue setup issue. Systematically perform checks and tests to isolate the cause.

If using TCP/IP, ensure a valid IP address is specified and that all parameters are correct (subnet mask, gateway, etc.). Attempt to PING the IP address assigned to the network interface.

Install the IPX/SPX protocol on a workstation to determine if the network device can be discovered via the MAC address. If able, configure the appropriate protocols and retest connectivity.

Use a crossover cable to isolate the printer from the network by connecting from the interface and workstation. Verify that the parameters match on each. Test connectivity.
