The printer is set to a fixed IP address
•
Please check that the printer’s IP address is valid within your LAN.
•
Please check that the printer’s IP address is not already used in
your LAN.
•
Please check that the printer’s IP address can be detected (ping
test) within your LAN. See Figure 48 for an example of such a test.
In this sample the printer was set to a fix IP address
(192.168.1.34). This IP was detected successfully by the server.
The printer is set to dynamic IP address
•
It is recommended to use a fixed DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) table on your server to assign one specific
IP address to the printer.
Therefore you need to lock up the MAC address of the printer. You
can lock up the printer’s MAC address either on your server of in
the following printer menu:
SERVICE > CONFIGURAT. INFO
See Figure 47 for an example of such a DHCP table on a server. In
this sample the printer with the MAC address 34 D2 C4 00 00 08
was assigned to the IP address 192.168.1.34. This setup makes
sure that the IP address assigned to the printer will always be the
same.
•
Please check that the printer’s IP address can be detected (ping
test) within your LAN.
•
Please check in the printer menu that the IP address shown there
matches the one set on your server (
SERVICE > CONFIGURAT.
INFO
).
