Network Interface 7. Troubleshooting When printing doesn’t work Check network setting When using Ethernet - IP Address Check whether the IP Address band of the printer rand the AP (or wireless terminals) are the same. The first three digits of the four digit value in the IP Address must be the same. - Subnet Mask Check whether the subnet mask of the printer matches with the one in - AP (or wireless terminal). Port Check whether the port configured in the printer and the host (PC, PDA) are the same.
Network Interface - - Port Check whether the port configured in the printer and the host (PC, PDA) are the same. Authentication / Encryption Check the authentication/encryption setting status. Check whether the settings of the printer and the AP (wireless terminals) are the same. PING Check Checking IP collision - When entering IP address manually without using DHCP, you must check whether the corresponding IP address is used by other - equipment.
Network Interface On the other hand, if there is a reply as shown below, then the corresponding IP is used by another network terminal and it cannot be used for the printer IP. Check Cable When using Ethernet - In order to check whether the problem is due to the LAN cable, connect the cable connected to the printer to other terminals or the PC to confirm whether its operation is normal. When using WLAN - It is recommended to use the USB extended cable provided by BIXOLON.
