using color option in the print dialog box.

Network problems

Symptom

Solution

The printer doesn’t
appear in the Chooser
on a Macintosh.

■

Always make network connections before turning on

the printer. Turn the printer off, wait at least 15 seconds
and turn the printer’s power on again.

■

Check the termination; refer to the documentation for

your network adapter or connector for information on
termination.

■

Check the configuration page to get the zone name

and printer name. Refer to “Printer Help Pages” on
page 7-6.
Make sure that the correct zone and printer
name have been selected in the Chooser.

■

If you have changed the printer’s name, did you make

it a unique name (not the same as any other printer in
the zone)?

■

Make sure that the correct network is selected in the

Network Control Panel.
