Note: A successful ping usually indicates that the AS/400 system can communicate with the IPS. However, you could receive a successful ping even if the IP address of the 
If PSF output for this printer prints elsewhere, follow these steps to determine whether the IP address of the printer is unique:
1.Power off the printer.
2.Wait at least five minutes for TCP/IP to clear the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) tables.
3.Enter the ping command again at the AS/400 system.
4.If you receive a successful response to the ping command this time, there is a duplicate IP address. Consult your network administrator.
