6. Troubleshooting
When printing doesn’t work
Check network setting
(Refer to Configuration for checking/changing the printer settings)
- IP Address
Check the band of the IP Address.
Check whether the bands of the printer and the AP(or wireless
terminals) are the same.
The first three digits of the four digit value of the IP address must be
the same.
- Subnet Mask
Check whether the subnet mask of the printer matches the one in AP
(or wireless terminal).
- Port
Check whether the port configured in the printer and the host (PC,
PDA) are the same.
PING Check
Checking IP collision
- When entering IP address manually without using DHCP, you must
check whether the corresponding IP address is used by other
equipment. The printer may not work normally when there is a
collision in the IP address.
- When the printer is turned off, carry out the Ping Test to the printer IP.
Ping TEST - Turn off the printer.
- Select “Run” from the Windows Start menu, and then enter “cmd”.
- Enter “ARP –d” and delete ARP table.
- Enter “ping {printer IP}”.
- ARP –d, ping {IP address}

When you see “Request timed out.” as shown below, it means that there is
no collision. The corresponding IP can be used.
On the other hand, if there is a reply as shown below, then the
corresponding IP is used by another network terminal and it cannot be
used for the printer IP.
Inactivity Time - If multiple host devices are used with one printer, “Inactivity Time” is
Recommended.(Other host devices are restricted to use a printer if
one host device keep connecting to a printer.) ex) 5sec
