    Troubleshooting

    This installation procedure assumes that the Ethernet adapter is configured with the correct IP address, subnet mask, and gateway (if required). In addition you can also ping and Telnet to the Ethernet adapter.

    To verify the Ethernet settings, print an E-net Test Page by doing the following:
    • DIAGNOSTICS ⇒ Printer Tests ⇒ Ethernet Test ⇒ Enter.
    The default Ethernet queue name is d1prn (in lower case), however the name can be changed. To verify the queue name, print an E-net Test Page or Telnet to the adapter and do a "list dest" command.
