Print the Network Configuration page of the machine and check if the settings such as IP address
settings are correct for your network. The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP
address. Verify that the IP address is correctly loaded into the print server, and make sure that no other
nodes on the network have this IP address. For information on how to print the Network Configuration
page, see Printing the Network Configuration page on page 123.

Error during printing
15
If you try to print while other users are printing large amounts of data (e.g. many pages or color pages with
high resolution), the machine is unable to accept your print job until the ongoing printing is finished. If the
waiting time of your print job exceeds a certain limit, a time out situation occurs, which causes the error
message. In such situations, execute the print job again after the other jobs are completed.
