EFI E-43A Installation And Service Manual page 110

Symptom
The E-43A hangs during
the user software
installation segment.
If you suspect a network problem, keep in mind the following:
• If the E-43A does not appear in the list of printers on the network, another device on the network may have been assigned the same
Ethernet hardware address.
• Conflicting network settings may have been configured in Setup and on the customer's workstation.
• Printing problems may be caused by inappropriate Setup options.
• Application-specific printing errors may be caused by missing or incorrectly placed printer description files.
• System software may be corrupted.
For additional information, see Configuration and Setup, which is part of the user documentation set.

during service and the time and date
were not configured in Setup afterward,
the E-43A will hang during the user
software installation segment.)
• User Software DVD is corrupted
• The DVD drive is faulty
• The hard disk drive is faulty
Suggested action
