5. Verify the current Ethernet Interface firmware version number.
NOTE: Firmware exists within the Ethernet Interface and the
printer itself. Each firmware is a separate entity with its own
version number. Please pay close attention to the type of
firmware referenced in the remaining sections of this
document.
The Ethernet Interface version should be 1.1.3 or higher for
10/100Base-T Ethernet adapters. If the Ethernet Interface
version is current, skip to step 6 below. If the Ethernet Interface
version is not current, you need to update both the Ethernet
Interface and printer firmware.
If you need to update the printer firmware, you must do so now.
After the update is complete, you must restart this instruction
from the beginning. To upgrade the printer firmware, contact
your IBM service representative.
CAUTION
Turning off the printer before the firmware update is complete
may permanently damage the Ethernet Interface adapter.
Updating the printer firmware takes time. Please be patient
and wait for the “E-NET READY” message to display on the
LCD. Do not turn off the printer before it has completed the
firmware download procedure. The LCD will display “ONLINE /
E-NET READY” when the download is complete. Wait for this
message before turning off the printer.
6. From the front panel, navigate to the IP Address and Netmask
(Subnet Mask) menu options and enter appropriate values. Do
not enter the Gateway Address at this point. You must press
↵
after inputting each segment of the IP Address and Netmask.
