Cannot print over a network
Cannot connect the printer to the network
Cause
Corrective Action
The Ethernet cable
is not connected
correctly to the
printer's Ethernet
port.
1.
Make sure the printer is connected to the network with the correct Ethernet cable, and then
turn the printer on. For instructions on connecting the cable, refer to the Setup Guide.
2.
Make sure the Link indicator is lit.
The top and bottom indicators are lit if the printer is connected via 1000Base-T. The bottom
indicator is green if the printer is connected via 100BASE-TX, and the top indicator is orange
if connected via 10BASE-T.
If the Link indicator is not lit, check the following points.
•
Make sure the hub is on.
•
Make sure the end of the Ethernet cable is connected correctly.
Insert the Ethernet cable until it clicks and locks in place.
•
Make sure there is no problem with the Ethernet cable.
If there is any problem, replace the Ethernet cable.
•
Check the communication mode with the hub.
Although the printer normally detects the hub communication mode and transmission rate
automatically (in auto negotiation mode), sometimes the hub settings cannot be detected.
In this case, configure the connection method manually, specifying the communication
mode in use.
