● Remember that very large prints may take some time to receive, process and print.
● If your printer displays warning or error messages that require action, take the required action before trying
to print.
Cannot access the Embedded Web Server
1. If you have not done so already, read Embedded Web Server on page 14.
2. Make sure that Embdedded Web Server functionality is enabled in the printer: from the front panel, tap
, then Security > Connectivity > Embedded Web Server (EWS) > On.
3. Check the proxy conguration in your Web browser in case it is preventing communication with the printer.
4. Ensure that the printer works correctly when printing or accessed from other applications.
5. If the printer displays warning or error messages that require further action, take the action to resolve the
problems.
6. If all else fails, turn the printer o and on again with the power key on the front panel.
Cannot access the printer from the HP Utility
1. If you have not done so already, read HP Utility on page 13.
2. Ensure that your printer is not in sleep mode.
3. Ensure that your printer driver is available and working correctly for the HP DesignJet Utility in Windows.
4. From the front panel, tap , then Security > Web services > Printing & management, and make sure
that it is enabled. If it is disabled, some parts of the HP Utility may not work properly.
Print jobs take too much time to be received by the printer
If you send a very large print to the printer, there will normally be some delay before it starts printing. However, if
you think you are experiencing abnormally long delays, there are various things you could check:
● Make sure the network cable connected to the printer is rated at least Cat5e.
● Make sure that gigabit-speed networking equipment and cabling interconnects your computer client to the
printer.
● Make sure that there are no network link issues. See Link troubleshooting on page 46.
● Take into account that, in network deployments with IPSec security protocols enabled and congured in the
printer, network performance may be reduced due to the use of cryptographic algorithms to protect
network communications.
● Try resetting the network conguration to its factory settings in order to get default settings that are
suitable for most standard network environments. See Reset network parameters on page 46.
● You may also nd it helpful to test connecting the computer to the printer directly, using a normal Ethernet
(Cat5e or Cat6) cable point-to-point, without passing through an Ethernet switch or router. In this
conguration, the printer and the computer should both automatically change their IPv4 addresses to the
form 169.254.x.x . In this point-to-point conguration you can discard any issues caused by other network
equipment.
