WAITING FOR
ETHERNET ADAPTER
114
Explanation
This status message
appears when the printer is
first powered on if the
optional ethernet NIC is
installed. An ethernet
adapter must be detected
early in the power up
sequence so the printer can
tell the adapter it has been
detected and continue with
its own power up sequence.
Compared to the printer, the
ethernet adapter takes a
long time to complete its
internal diagnostic tests, so
the boot code allows the
adapter to power up in
parallel with the printer to
reduce its effect on overall
boot time
Solution
No action required.
