Check the connections

Is the LAN cable disconnected?

Make sure that the LAN cable is firmly inserted in the connectors on the network expansion kit and your computer. For information on connecting the LAN cable, see software setup guide for network printer.

Is the machine configured for use on the same network as the computer?

The machine cannot be used if it is not connected to the same network as the computer, or if it is not configured for use on the network.

For more information, consult your network administrator.

Points to check in Windows

Are you using a port that was created with Standard TCP/IP Port?

If you are using a port created using Standard TCP/IP Port in Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista, printing may not take place correctly if "SNMP Status Enabled" is selected in the port settings of the printer driver. Open the printer driver properties and click the "Configure Port" button on the

"Ports" tab. In the window that appears, make sure the "SNMP Status Enabled" checkbox is not selected .

Points to check on the Macintosh

Is AppleTalk enabled?

In Mac OS X, click "Network" in "System Preferences" and select Ethernet in "Show". Click the "AppleTalk" tab and make sure that "Make AppleTalk Active" is selected.

In Mac OS 9.0 to 9.2.2, open the "Chooser" from the Apple menu and make sure that "Active" is selected. Printing is not possible if "Active" is not selected.

Is "Ethernet" selected for the "Connect via" of AppleTalk? (When using Mac OS 9.0 to 9.2.2.)

Open "AppleTalk" from the "Control Panels" and make sure that "Ethernet" is selected in the "Connect via" menu. Printing is not possible if "Ethernet" is not selected.
