off and press the paper exit button to discharge paper.

2. Obstacles in Windows environments 

(TCP/IP)

perform retrieval.

B. Printing cannot be made.

Check that the network cable is properly connected.

When the TCP/IP protocol is used, check that there is a reply of ping
for the IP address assigned to the AR-NC5J.

Check that the printer JOB lamp is on. If it is on, turn it off and press
the paper exit button to discharge paper.

3. Obstacles in Windows environments 

(NetBEUI)

A. Work Group of "Sharp Printer" is not found in the 

entire network.

Check that the network group is properly connected.

Check the network setup of Windows.

It may take several minutes to find the work group in the network.

4. Obstacles in NetWare environments

A. NICManager retrieval cannot find out the AR-

NC5J.

Check that the network cable is properly connected.

In  the  NICManager  menu  bar  "Option",  select  "Search  by  IPX/SPX"
and perform retrieval.

B. Cannot connect to the NetWare server in the 

remote printer mode.

Check  that  the  packet  type  and  the  NetWare  operation  mode  are
proper.

The AR-NC5J switches automatically, however it may take some time
depending on the use environment.

Check that the print server which the AR-NC5J is registered in is nor-
mally working in the NetWare server.

Check  that  the  print  server  name  is  properly  set.  If  the  print  server
name  registered  in  the  AR-NC5J  is  specified,  check  that  the  print
server name is identical to what is working on the file server.

Do not use a same port name in different products.

C. Cannot connect to the NetWare server in the print 

server mode.

Check  that  the  packet  type  and  the  NetWare  operation  mode  are
proper.

The AR-NC5J switches automatically, however it may take some time
depending on the use environment.

When a file server is specified to the AR-NC5J, check that the name of
the file server which is used is identical to the set name.

Check that the printer port name is properly set. Check that the printer
port name set to the AR-NC5J is identical to the printer port name set
to the NetWare server. If there are two or more units of the AR-NC5J,
do not use the same name for different AR-NC5J, and do not use the
same port name for different ports.

Check that the NetWare login password is correct.

Check that the machine name is identical to the print server name.

D. Printing cannot be performed.

Check that the network cable is properly connected.

Check that the printer job lamp is on. If it is on, turn it off and press the
paper exit button to discharge.

5. Obstacles in Macintosh environments

A. Not recognized with the selector.

Check that the network cable is properly connected.

When there is a zone in the network, check that the selector connects
to the proper zone (which the printer is connected to) and check that
the zone name is the same as what is set by a utility, etc.

Check that the printer conforming to the printer is selected.

Check that the AppleTalk indicated at the right lower side of the selec-
tor is set to "Use."

Check  that  "AppleTalk  (*1)  (Network)(*2)  setup  is  proper  to  the  use
environment.

*1: In the case of AppleTalk

Check  that  "Ethernet"  is  selected.  When  an  AppleTalk  router  is
used  to  connect  the  AR-NC5J  with  LocalTalk,  check  that  "Printer
port" or "MODEM port" is selected.

*2: In the case of Network

Check  that  "Ethernet"  is  selected.  When  an  AppleTalk  router  is
used  to  connect  the  AR-NC5J  with  LocalTalk,  check  that  "Local-
Talk" is selected.

Print  the  setup  contents  and  check  that  the  AppleTalk  protocol  is  not
disabled. Setup can be made by using Telnet, Windows utility, or setup
utility for Macintosh.

Print the setup content and check that the printer name is not empty.

B. When printing, "Insufficient memory" is 

displayed and printing cannot be made./When 
printing, only Chinese characters are printed or 
blank paper is outputted.

It  may  be  caused  by  insufficient  memory  capacity  for  the  application.
Click the icon of the using application, select "See information" in the
file menu, and increase the use memory size of the application.

Terminate the other applications which are acting.

Increase the starting disk capacity.

[8] FLASH ROM VERSION UP 

PROCEDURE

1. Operating environment

The version up tool requires the operating environment of Windows95/
98/Me/NT/2000.

• In the Windows NT/2000 environment, communication is performed

by  use  of  the  I PX/SPX  protocol.  So  the  I PX/SPX  protocol  must  be
installed.

• In  the  Windows  95/98/Me  environment,  both  the  packet  driver  and

the IPX/SPX protocol are retrieved for use of communication, and an
available  communication  means  is  used  to  perform  uploading.  (If
both are available, the IPX/SPX protocol has priority.)
