6. Ping the printer.
Pinging the printer tells you if it is “seen” on the network. If you cannot
ping the printer, turn the printer off and then on. Then ping every device
in the path to the printer - access points, routers, etc. Any device you
cannot ping needs attention.
ping <ip address> (i.e. ping 192.0.0.192)
7. Verify connection to the data port by starting a Telnet session to the
printer using port 9100 (i.e. Telnet aa.bb.cc.dd 9100).
Press
Ctrl-E
on your keyboard. This sends an ENQ request. The
printer responds with three characters. Depending upon the Telnet
being used, you may not see the first character, as it is a hex 05
value. The other two characters are ASCII characters. You will see
A@
which means the printer is online and waiting. Alternatively, you can
type
[J,2]
Note: The J must be capital.
The printer responds with
{J,0,0,””,””}
.
No response means that the printer may have an open session to
some other connection. Either terminate the other connection or turn
off the printer and turn it back on.
