DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENT

If the ping is successful:
Note: A successful ping usually indicates that the AS/400 system
can communicate with the IPS. However, you could receive a
successful ping even if the IP address of the TCP/IP-attached printer
is a duplicate of another IP address.
If PSF output for this printer prints elsewhere, follow these steps
to determine whether the IP address of the printer is unique:
1. Power off the printer.
2. Wait at least five minutes for TCP/IP to clear the Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP) tables.
3. Enter the ping command again at the AS/400 system.
4. If you receive a successful response to the ping command this
time, there is a duplicate IP address. Consult your network
administrator.
If the ping is unsuccessful:
If your ping is not successful, verify the following:
•
The printer is powered on.
•
TCP/IP has been started on the AS/400 (command: STRTCP ).
•
The cables are properly connected between the printer and the
LAN.
•
The Network Interface Card (NIC) in the printer is functioning
properly. (Consult your Xerox service representative.)
