Setting IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Addresses To set an IP, subnet mask, or gateway address for the printer, perform these steps: 1. Press the Online key to take the printer OFFLINE. 2. Press the Menu key until the operator panel displays ETHERNET MENU or TOKEN RING MENU. 3. Press the Item key until the operator panel displays address to change (IP ADDRESS, SUBNET MASK, or GATEWAY ADDRESS). This example shows how to change the IP ADDRESS. 4. Press the Continue/Enter key.
Setting the Locally Administered MAC Address (LAA) Network Administrator Tip Each network card comes with a unique, pre-assigned MAC address printed on its faceplate and set at the factory. The following procedure allows you to use locally administered addresses (LAA) instead of the factory value. Resetting the printer to factory defaults sets the LAA back to the MAC address.
Beware of Beaconing When you turn the printer off, wait at least two or three seconds before turning it back on. A quick off-on may cause a Token Ring card to start beaconing.
Appendix A. Troubleshooting This section provides simple methods for detecting and solving some of the problems that most frequently occur in printing environments. If your printer does not print your job, follow these steps: 1. Turn the printer off and leave it off for approximately ten seconds. Turn it back on. This action resets the printer to its programmed configuration and may clear the error. 2.
Symptom Action Printer never prints the job Responses: 1. Make sure that the printer is running by printing a configuration page. See “Printing the Printer Configuration Page” on page 13. Check the settings for PORT TIMEOUT and PERSONALTY for possible problems. See the appropriate menu for information about the settings for your attachment: “Token Ring Menu” on page 69 “Ethernet Menu” on page 71 “Parallel Menu” on page 62 “Coax Setup Menu” on page 78 “Twinax Setup Menu” on page 80 2.
Symptom Action Paper selected from wrong source When mismatches occur between size and source (for example, a job specifies a specific tray and a specific paper size, but the requested tray does not contain the requested paper size), the printer attempts to satisfy the size request first. If no tray contains the requested size, a message may indicate the last tray the printer checked. Note that the job value (set using the printer driver or the application) will override the panel setting.
Symptom Action Duplex setting is ignored The DUPLEX setting on the Paper Menu is the printer default. Your application or driver settings override this default. Make sure that the application, driver, or both (if necessary), specify the correct duplex setting. PostScript printing problem If your printer is not printing PostScript jobs correctly, the printed output will be unformatted and will include unrecognizable characters (including %% identifiers and other font information).
Symptom Action Parallel attachment printing problems Make sure your printer driver is installed and connected to the correct port. Also, make sure you use properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors (IBM part number 63H3329 or its equivalent) that are no more than six feet (1.83 meters) in length. Poor quality shading patterns Shading patterns in your printed images are of poor quality. Response: Make sure the QUALITY item in the Config Menu is not set to REFINE.
Symptom Action Any print quality problem The quality of the printed output is not acceptable. Examples of unacceptable output include light printing, streaks, splotches, random deletions, blank pages, and so on. See Appendix D, “Print Quality Problems” on page 179 for samples of print quality problems. Responses: 1. Print a configuration page. See “Printing the Printer Configuration Page” on page 13. Verify that it has the same print quality problem. If not, suspect a problem with your job. 2.
Symptom Action Blank pages If all sheets are blank, the toner supply could be low but the toner sensor is not detecting this condition. Response: Replace the toner cartridge. See “Changing the Toner Cartridge” on page 92 for instructions on removing and replacing the toner cartridge. Random blank pages during a print job can be caused by multiple sheets of paper being fed through the machine simultaneously. Response: Reload the paper tray with fresh, dry paper. Fan the paper before loading it.
Symptom Action Problems printing in the 250-sheet tray Response: Make sure the paper is loaded correctly and that the paper guides are aligned correctly. (see “Loading Paper into the 250-Sheet Paper Tray (Tray 1)” on page 23). Note: Closing the 250-sheet tray with too much force can misalign the paper guides. Factory defaults did not get reset Invoking the FACTORY DEFAULT item on the Test Menu resets most values to the factory defaults. Some values do not get reset.
Appendix B. Printer Messages This chapter lists printer messages. Printer status messages are listed alphabetically in the next section, “Status Messages.” Error messages are preceded by a number; see “Error Messages” on page 166.
