When you cannot communicate with the machine

When you cannot communicate with the machine or other SMB machines

When you cannot print

Cause

Check point

Remedy

The computer and the

machine are using different

protocols.

Although you can find the

machine from [Start] >

[Search], [Network Computer]

does not display the machine.

Configure the machine and

each computer to use the same

SMB operational protocol.

The machine belongs to

different network (subnet).

Although you can find the

machine from [Start] >

[Search], [Network Computer]

does not display the machine.

If the machine and the

computers are set to different

networks, consult your network

administrator.

The host name specified for

the machine is already in use.

Print out Configuration Report

to confirm whether "Repetitive

Host Name" is printed in the

SMB status information.

Use Dell Printer Configuration

Web Tool to change the host

name to a unique name, or

restore the machine settings to

the default settings.

Cause

Check point

Remedy

If [Auto Master Mode] of SMB

is set to [On], the number of

machines whose information

can be stored is limited. The

number depends on the

network environment.

The machine or other SMB

machines cannot be searched

from the Network Computers

icon.

Confirm the setting of [Auto

Master Mode] of SMB. If the

setting is enabled, change it to

[Off].

Cause

Check point

Remedy

The machine is processing a

print job from a different

computer.

(When [SMB (Spool)] is set to

[Off])

Confirm whether the machine

is processing a print job. (A

write error dialog is displayed to

indicate that there is no room

to store your print job.)

Wait until the machine

completes processing the print

job, or change the machine

setting to the [Spool] mode.

The connections to the

machine exceeded the

maximum number allowed.

Confirm whether the machine

is processing simultaneous

requests (print requests, status

queries, etc.) from multiple

computers. (A write error

dialog is displayed to indicate

that no more remote

computers can be connected.)

Wait for a while and try

printing again.
