UNIX Troubleshooting Quick Check

1. CHECK for LED activity on the back of the NIC card. One LED
should be on at all times and another should be flickering with
network activity. If there is LED activity, this would indicate the
cabling is correct for operation.
2. VERIFY cable connection to the NIC from the Ethernet network.
(BNC connections should have the locking pins of the jack
snapped into the slots of the plug. RJ45 connections should be
fully inserted and the locking clip engaged.)
3. Use the Control Panel on the front of the DocuPrint printer and
print the Print Settings page. On this page verify that the NIC
card has been set to a specific TCP/IP address or is set to use a
RARP or BOOTP server to be dynamically allocated an IP
address. Check to be sure of the Hostname or IP address on the
Print Settings page.
4. Try to "ping" the DocuPrint printer using the IP address
assigned. If you get a response, send a known good print job to
the printer. If no job prints, proceed to the section entitled UNIX
Troubleshooting Step-by-Step.
