Troubleshooting

TCP/IP Networks

This procedure addresses a basic TCP/IP communication problem, and
assumes that the printer is powered on and connected to a properly functioning
network port using the correct cabling.

To troubleshoot a TCP/IP Network:

1

Print a Configuration Report from your printer using CentreWare Internet
Services or CentreWare Printer Admin Services and check the TCP/IP
parameters. See Chapter 2 Network Software for details on printing
Configuration, and other, reports.

Note:

If you are not able to print a Configuration Report from your workstation,

power off and power on the copier/printer. Allow at least 30 seconds between
powering off and powering on the printer. A Configuration Report will print.

2

Review the TCP/IP area of the Configuration Report.

3

Verify that the following information is set correctly:



Host Name (if you are using a UNIX network, the Host Name is case
sensitive)



IP Address



Subnet Mask



Default Gateway



Broadcast Address.

4

Any one of these TCP/IP parameters, if set incorrectly, can cause TCP/IP
communication problems. The Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are
critical on multi-network segment LANs or WANs.
