Enable Ethernet (Enable/Disable Ethernet)
All computers on Ethernet networks share a common medium using an access
method known as Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detect (CSMA/CD),
which determines when a computer is free to transmit data to the access medium.
When CSMA/CD is used, all computers monitor the transmission medium and wait
until the line is available before transmitting. Should 2 computers try to transmit
simultaneously, a collision occurs that causes the computers to stop, wait for a
random time interval, and then attempt to transmit again.
Note:
Be very careful when modifying settings for a communication interface.
Incorrect settings can result in the printer receiving garbled, incomplete, or
extra data, causing the printer to operate poorly, print corrupted data, or
"hang" indefinitely.
When you press Enter to accept a setting for an interface, the changes are
applied immediately. You do not need to reset or restart the printer.
The following options are available for the Ethernet Interface:
Enable/Disable Ethernet
When the Ethernet setting is enabled, the Ethernet port is available for use.
When the Ethernet setting is disabled, the Ethernet port is not available for
use.
