Step 4: verify the setup
You can check to make sure the printer is set up correctly. Just follow these
steps.
1 Make sure your computer is on the same physical network as the adap-
ter.
2 Print a test page to verify your settings.
If you need help, go to “Step 2:
print a setup page” on page 2-3.
3 Issue a PING command from your computer, such as:
ping hostname
where hostname is the hostname that you set in the /etc/hosts file or on
the name server.
If PING does not work correctly, make sure that:
• you are using a unique address.
• the ARP table entry is correct.
• all physical connections are working correctly.
• all bridges and routers are operating correctly.
• the hostname that you pinged matches the hostname that you set in the /etc/
hosts
file or on the name server.
• if you set the address, netmask, and gateway using BOOTP, make sure that:
– Your BOOTP server is configured correctly.
– The IP address and the hostname are set correctly in the BOOTP
file.
• If you set the address, netmask, and gateway from the printer control panel,
make sure that:
– The IP address is set correctly on the printer’s control panel. If you
need help, see “Setting the information via the printer control
panel” on page 2-8.
• If you set the IP address, netmask, and gateway using a RARP server or ARP
command and telnet, double-check all your steps. If one of these parameters
is wrong, your connection will be lost.
